Hello again
Just wondering if its possible to fit 2.8 brake assemblies, including hubs and knuckles to my little 1.9?
Any one done it on 16" wheels?
Cheers

Yes possible, in fact easy to do.
You need any 6 cylinder engine Z3 brakes to do it, will have vented discs, you need to bigger carried to allow for the extra thickness of the disc.
You also need the callipers, as the 1.9s can't be pushed back far enough to allow the discs and pads to sit in the cavity.
Nice upgrade, I did it to my old (for sale) track car.

I fitted 15 inch track wheels as I had tyres left over from my clio 172 that I killed. Just had enough clearance to fit over the brakes.
PM me if you need any help
FYI, I'm in Woking, Surrey

Thats great, thanks
I have been offered a set of complete assemblies less shocks and wish bones... I think it will be a nice, sensible upgrade!
