No

Front calipers have no handbrake lever so won't work  :happy2:

Cheers Freddie, that's what I thought as no discussion on forum about this! I have them lying around just though I might be able to use them somehow

Unfortunately not mate  :sad1:

Best bet to put them in the for sale section, should get between £120-£150 for them  :happy2:
