Big Brake Modification

You will need......

25mm o/d spacers approximately 8-8.5mm thick (best to measure when you can set the caliper in position). I turned these on my lathe but you could just use a selection of washers!


204mm Fiat Coupe Turbo front discs


166 (2.5 or 3.0) calipers (same as Fiat Coupe I think). They are silver but don't take long to paint and the graphics came from ebay. I also remade the bottom pipe with copper as the calipers were about eight years old and it looked tatty!


Mounting brackets, the holes in my brackets are larger, for 14mm and 12mm bolts iirc. You will need the original 14mm 166 bolts, trying to find this size outside of Alfa is hard! Then I also used 12mm mounting bolts. Brackets have to be custom made...



I also needed 15mm hubcentric wheel spacers to clear my wheels, 17" wheels will probably be needed although SOME 16" will fit. 16" Speedlines will NOT fit.


Finished brakes





This is not a cheap modification but the results are REALLY impressive!!!
