Right instead of cossie calipers what about brembos. Looking on e bay you can get 406 coupe or fiat coupe brembos reasonable. on the right cars they come with a 300mm disc, so...

how easy are these calipers to be made to fit? does anybody make brackets for them?
could I then use a 300mm disc from like an st170?

cheers

 

rick/chavster where are ya?

anybody

 

Used BREMBO,S on mine from FOCUS RS .Not cheap though,CALIPERS,DISCS AND PADS=Ł300 and Ł80 for the CUSTOM BRACKETS but looks like this......

 

i dont know what lenght bolts u have in there to connect the custum bracket but u need slightly longer ones... minimum flush with the nut but technically 3 threads sticking through.

just an observation.

 

Thanks for concern,but these bolts were just used for DRY FITTING only.Proper sized bolts were used in the FINAL FITTING.

 

that is exactely what I want. where did you get the brackets mate?
does anybody know if the fiat coupe and 406 coupe brembos are the same as these seem to be cheaper. they look the same as the focus rs ones

cheers

 

FIAT and 406 calipers are mounted differently.FOCUS RS are mounted from the sides and FIAT & 406 are mounted from the top.My brackets were Ł80.Take your HUB & CALIPER to a MACHINE SHOP and they should be able to make you some brackets.Ask on here if there is anyone that specializes in your choice of brake conversion.

I would also remove the paint from the surface of the drive flange as it may cause run-out and eventually vibration

 

so does this mean that they cannot be used?

 

You can use the FIAT & 406 caliper,but you will need to get a special adapter bracket made.
