Straight swap, but make sure you get all the bolts off the G40 brakes and you'll need new discs and pads.

which bolts do you need? I ve got the callipers and carriers, thought I could just use the Gt ones to bolt to the hub??

its the caliper to carrier bolts that are different. (Hex key ones) The ones for vented discs are 10mm longer than ones for normal discs. You gen get new ones from gsf for not much money though.
