   Are you avo off ebay if so you bought this set off of me, Thanks for the nasty ebay meesage just. Anyway the calipers/carriers are right take a pic post here you will be told so by other members. They fit MK1 and MK2 struts. The disk's were brand new mintex complete with pads still sealed. As I said they may have been the wrong ones in the box I had no way off knowing as I never broke the seal to have a look. What I do have in my shed is the original disk's from the vtr that went with the caliper's. If you pm me your address I'll send them up at least that way you can check them against the ones in the box. If they differ at least you can take them to a local motor factors and they should be able to match them upon and they cost fuck all. Rez.

   Sounds like the newer type discs.
   
   Find the mintex part number on the discs, if it's MDC1491 then you have the new ones that won't fit the Lucas caliper.
