The RX-7 calipers need a bracket that bolts onto the 240 caliper mounts, this puts them in the right spot to reach around some bigger 11.25" 960/940 Turbo rotors.

Won't fit under 15" wheels though (at least the vast majority of them), most 16's would work, my 245 has 17's and it's not a problem.

I only belatedly discovered that installing the 122 discs in the rear position on the PV blocked off access to the kingpin grease fittings, so it's been a very long time since I greased them. Really need to get around to unbolting the calipers and squirting some grease in there before it destroys itself.
