You've made a fantastic job refurbishing those calipers.

I spend a lot of money trying to make a kit to fit those calipers to the 306, but decided it wasn't possible as I'd like it. You are certainly a glutton for punishment! :congratulations

I understand the disks, and realise a different disk is needed for the calipers to fit. As i bought calipers, pads and disks (all fitment for a fiat coup obv). I know the disks are the wrong stud pattern also. So i need disks to fit the 6 and also need to work out wheel clearance issues(im guessing the OZ`s in the pic are 17", as are mine), the obvious thing to do is to use this thread as a rough plan. But work cant begin until i get some brackets to fit the caliper to the caliper carrier made or find some for sale. Anyone who can point me in the right direction?
