Sorry another question, did you replace the 'shield' (dont know its name) that sits at the back of the brake disc for a bigger version for the bigger disc? Do you have the part numbers of you did? Thanks.
Yeah. I replaced the shields. Sorry,
don't have the part numbers as they came as part of the 340mm brake upgrade package.
@Skyliner33 - try these part numbers for the "340mm big front brake" PR-2E4 17" chassis:

Fitting Time, . . .
I've added more detail over here: Brake Pad & Disc change - How I Done It -
thanks to @Pauly & @Nutexa Frictions - now i need the matching rear set please.
starting off here, wheel bolts cracked and van jacked up. . .
i used two jacks and two axle stands for this job. . . . and positioning of these items is always a asked question.
so here is a view of how i rigged it up for the job . . .
fluid cap off. . .
out with the old . . . . . . . . .
the 21mm M16 Calliper bracket bolts to to be preplaced according to the book. . . so thank to the local TPS for relieving me of nearly £20 for the set of four. . .
anyway i split two 21mm sockets last time trying to get those out. . .
no such trouble this time with the IMPACT rated sockets + breaker bar + extension bar.
in with the new. . . .
see the other thread for the full process . .. . . here we are pads and discs loaded. . .
over to the other side. . . . pads out.
i had to deal with this damaged pad/abs sensor loom, but thats a seperate issue.
fixed - but this time cable tied on for good measure. . .
now fully loaded and ready to roll.
nice - job done. . . .
fluid res` cap back on . . . it was time to pump the peddle till hard then a gentle test drive. . .
during the test drive there was a noticeable flutter sound that the pads and discs made under braking, this was due to the cross drill and vented pattern of the discs.
i made me feel like a BTCC racing driver for 30seconds. . .
back at base there was a light puff of wispy smoke as everything got used to the hot temps,
a mix of burning off the coatings, the brake cleaner and remaining WD40 on the Hubs. . .
a quick check around showed all good and as it should be.
awesome. . . . . .
the following day i had a 40 odd mile round trip. (70% A road - 30% city road)
by the end of it the brakes were feeling almost fulled bedded in. .
great stuff.
now i just need to do the rears.
