    here a video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqwx...ature=youtu.be

    this is just a trial fit
    now I know they fit ill get the brackets made and shallower bolts to hold the caliper to the bracket as I had to shamfer the heads to clear the wheels
    and the longer brake hoses

    Done it donkeys ago, made several kits up. Like I said I know how you did it as it's similar to my way, there nothing secret about it. You moved the disc inboard, I,e renault disc same stud pattern.

    thought it would have been but people were saying that they would only go under 18s
    so I had to have a go and see
    took a while to fabricate the bracket
    what hubs did you use on yours as there not Volvos are they as Volvos have bolts

    Mine had enough clearance as I used different discs (not renault), but there are other issues moving the disc inwards, but nothing major.

    I use the ash dvs brackets on 320mm with focus st calipers, it's just cheaper.

    didn't use Renault disc mate the discs are 320mm Volvo
    the wheel bolted on ok a bit close minds so may add 2mm spacer just to be sure

    It is a Volvo hub, iirc I was at friends engineers and only had a bit of stud to hand and some nuts.

    Looks good I personaly would do sone trimming if it is possible on the calliper as it looks very tight also as Simon has mentioned if your wheels need stick on weights in the centre along the spokes theres going to be no chance on fitting them, its the same with the v50 320mm brake kit i believe unsing the v50 calipers
    Heres how the clearance looks on the original Volvo 320 kit looks

    I have made 7-10 sets up, all sorts, but drive a v70r as a daily with p2 330mm 4 pots on each corner so don't bother, but I'll fit a set on the gul front and rear, xc90 rears or porsche 4 pots.

    Just Made some up for my 940, which fit under steelies with no spacer 17s
