Hi,
At some point I need to upgrade the front brakes on my Sprint. I see the Trackerjack upgrade seems popular, can anyone confirm if they are readily available and contact details.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Trackerjack is the forum name of the guy who developed this brake upgrade. It is basically VW Gold discs what are machined to fit the Dolomite hub along with Ford Sierra calipers. I suggest that you send him a PM.

Very readily available. Drop him a pm on the forum and I'm sure he will get back to you. Then you end up with this pretty lot:D

Is that a front or rear brake kit, only ever heard the trackerjack kit talked about in rear kit

Front. No rear conversion that I know of.

Does it re-use the standard callipers or bigger callipers. There's a 4 piston calliper I found once but I lost the link to it

It is golf mk2 discs redrilled to suit. The brackets are conversion from the standar callers to Sierra 2.0 litre calipers. Then spacers for the back of the discs.

Do they fit under standard sprint alloys? I've only heard in passing of the trackerjack kit

Incorrect.
They may be the only
UK conversion that fits inside Sprint wheels.
Here in these antipodese, this "Sprintparts" conversion is the only way to go, but unless you wanted to pay considerable carriage costs, the Trackerjack product would definitely be your best UK bet.
