frodo_monkey 0 Posted April 29, 2006 Hi all, I'm just about to fit 1.9 Girling calipers to my 1.6, using 1.6 hubs and discs and 1.9 pads. Having looked at a few old posts, and at the bolts for my 1.6 calipers, I reckon that I'm gonna need 1.9 mounting bolts to mate the calipers to my existing hubs. Is this right? Next question - where can I get hold of these? Anybody got some in the garage they could bung me, in exchange for some beer or free tickets to Croft for the NSSCC and CSCC racing next Saturday? Failing that, any ideas? TVM, Frodo PS Veero - cheers for letting me have your calipers on eBay. You have PM... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frodo_monkey 0 Posted April 29, 2006 I'd love to... Unfortunately don't have the requisite number of posts yet! Anybody able to do one for me? Ta, Frodo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted April 30, 2006 A visit to a scrapyard should source some, you can use the ones from a 405 with vented front discs iirc. Has Veero not got the bolts for them anywhere? Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frodo_monkey 0 Posted April 30, 2006 Yeah, PMd him about that! My local yards are all total arse, a couple of Kev'd up 306s and thats about it... Rubbish. Couldn't see any 205s or 309s! Didn't know about the 405 though, thanks for the tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted April 30, 2006 I think a 306 that has vented discs should have the same type of bolts fitted. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted April 30, 2006 I think a 306 that has vented discs should have the same type of bolts fitted. 306 XSi that I whipped the 266mm Lucas calipers off yesterday appeared to have very similar looking bolts to 1.9's, and from memory the ATE 247mm calipers also use similar bolts...

jim205GTI 3 Posted April 30, 2006 Having done work on both the sets of brakes on my 205 and 306 i am also pretty sure that the bolts are the same............... i'll go an have a quick look as i still have the old ones about somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
