Im not that thick so how would you attach them to your half shaft


IIRC - the halfshaft has what looks like a square piece of metal and contains the original studs, this is where Rob's round thing (with four holes and five studs) connects to.

The horseshoe shaped thing attaches to the axle and holds your Calipers

Make any more sense now?

Exactly. Shit to fit. Quality is poor. Works well once fitted. I used 400 rear calipers which required some trimming.
