OK thanks, from what i gather the austen princess has 4 pot calipers and like the volvo ones are, or were a popular straight forward swap for escorts in the UK. The bloke who started Hi-Spec Motorsport started out making kits based on these, the product he make now are the same calipers but are brand new off the shelf items.
They have a website im not PC clever so i cant put up a link you'll have to do it the old fashion way if you want to check them out

SMCKA was selling the HiSpec on his website but they are not on his site anymore.
 
You could get in contact with him anyway.
 
Very helpful bloke

I had a pr of Austin Princess calipers in the 90s , sold them on for $250 , they were rare back then! I went the Volvo 4pot setup later as parts are plenty.
Answering the question if they (Princess) bolt up, is yes and a spacer kit for vented rotors as usual.
For monster calipers is raid a 80s Transit van front calipers, that will fit too and are huge....i mean huge !!

I have a 283mm rotor kit using RX7 callipers for sale as an alternative.
I'm negotiable on my original asking price if interested?

Hi guys, Do the TX3 discs and princess calipers match up? Ive been looking at the Hi-Spec Motorsports package and was thinking you could maybe save a but of money by just getting the calipers(if possible)and not the full kit with the discs included, you should save on postage as well. Then buy local to get the rest

RSman did you find out if the smaller 257mm TX3 discs work with a spaced Princess caliper?
