Is anyone able to give me the bolt spacing on a GTi Caliper? Thinking of doing the Brembo conversion on my car  Been on the net the last 2 hours trying to find out as its not going on a 306  ________________________________________  RIP Pete Sims |

surely you will need the bolt spacing of the car you intend to put them on then? |

Yup, Hopefully i'l find out what the measurements of the 306 caliper are on here, go out to my car, remove caliper, Have a measure if its the same. Source some calipers and work out what offset and size disks i shall need, Hopefully sub £300 Brembos  I'm trying to work my way round it without having to get brackets made up, I fancied the 197 Brembos but would need to get fabricating to get them to go on  ________________________________________ RIP Pete Sims |

Im a little lost, if its not going on a 306 then why do you need to know the bolt spacings of a gti6 caliper?  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

because gti6 calipers have the same measurements as the brembos in terms of distance between centre of holes. and he doesent have bremobs available so needs to use the measurement of gti6 , to gauge possibility of brembos fitting his car  |

Ah right that makes a bit more sense  The distance you need is 82mm Rich (centre to centre)  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

as above, just use 197/200 bits?actually, if yours is the same hubs as the older RSi's and williams, then they used the same calipers as the 1.9 205 gti, and hence the same bolt spacing, just different discs, which may be your downfall. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
