Leon,

Here is the info on the TR6 vented conversion.
These specs/part numbers apply to US spec Toyotas - don't know if the 
UK/Euro/Aussie models are the same.

The vented rotor conversion uses rotors from a Toyota Cressida.  The 
inner hole of the Toyota rotors needs to be machined to 3.125".
The bolt holes in the Cressida rotors are the same as the TR rotor and 
do not need modifying.

The Toyota calipers are 4-piston units from a 4 cylinder Toyota 4-runner.
They look the same as the non-vented Toyota calipers used in the 
conversion Previously listed on the VTR website; they're just wider to 
fit the vented rotors. 

Part numbers are as follows:

Rotors - Aimco 3247: 1986-1988 Toyota Cressida Front Rotor (Sedan Only) 
Alternate Part Numbers; Raybestos 96042, Bendix 141410

Calipers - Fenco C8554, C8555: 1988-mid 1989 Toyota 4-Runner, 4WD, 4Cyl 
Alternate Part Numbers: Cardone 19-827, 19-826

You may also need to purchase a fitting kit (pins, shims, etc) for the 
calipers and brake pads.

The installation is the same as for the non-vented conversion at 
http://www.cs.du.edu/~ljanssen/tr6_brake_install.html .
Sometimes you will need some thin AN washers to shim the caliper (center 
it on the disk).  Some installs need the shims, some don't.

If you would like to see some photos of the conversion, go to
