407 Lucas Brakes?

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have kindly been given a set of front brake callipers and discs, apparently from a Peugeot 407.

 

They are made by Lucas, appear very similar in shape to a set I have from a 306 S16 and also have roughly the same size discs. 266mm IIRC.

 

Are these brakes any good? Condition wise they certainly seem tidy and I am thinking about replacing my 1600 std callipers with them.

 

Cheers

 

Ben

They wont be off a 407 if they are 266mm, smallest that a 407 uses is 283 x 26mm, also 5 bolt wheel fixing...

406 calipers (or to be precise, carriers) don't fit 205/309 hubs.

 

(or atleast, the 283mm version don't, and I'm assuming the 266mm versions won't either)

They might be off a 307, in which case they are brilliant and a great upgrade for the 205. Give em a try and see if they fit!

It would be a shame if they didnt fit as they do appear to be in reasonable condition.

 

I think there was a serial number on the caliper so I may be able to find out exactly what they were off.

 

cheers chaps.
