Bx16v Brakes Onto A 1.6?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at ways of improving the brakes on my 1.6. I have the bx sat on my drive so I was comparing and the bx has 14" wheels, the 1.6 alloys fit on the bx and the bx discs are 266mm so bigger than the 245mm 1.6 brakes. I guess the hubs are totally different and so the swap can't be done?

The BX brakes run off the hydraulic system. The seals in the calipers aren't compatible to regular brake fluid, so you'd have to rebuild the calipers with new seals.
