i doubt you will get through the iva with willwood spot callipers as you wont achieve the required efficiency.
stick some picts up of the hand brake problem and im sure someonw will come up with a good solution

ahh theres the spanner in the works , the omega uses a drum setup within the rear disc but i found that after the hubs were made id not left enough room to get the shoes and the mechanism in. i was planning to use the mechanical spot calipers for the handbrake only. and the rear caliper from the omega also. i thought the spot calipers would be siutable as the alfa 147 i have uses a similar system for its handbrake just with one caliper both cable operated and hydraulically. more thought needed there then ........

is it not acceptable for iva to have a small disc brake mounted between the gearbox and the prop shaft for the handbrake, say like a smaller version of a landrover handbrake?

rob i have a spare pair of sierra rear callipers they will solve the problem if you hold off on making the mounts. they are a bit crusty but will clean up ok. you can have them for £10 which is what they cost me.
