    Unless yoyr doing a full concourse restoration you elreally dont want more delco calipers, they're awful and mega prone to seizing up. Look for some corsa b calipers from 1.0 to 1.4 8v for direct 236mm solid disc replacements. Or opt for an upgrade from a 1.4 16v corsa b still 236mm but vented but will allow for standard wheel choice. Theyre are other upgrades too if you want ti go even bigger

    Cheers for the reply. It's currently got 2.0 braked on but want the option of been able to run 3 spoke wheels and my speedlines but obviously can't fit the 3 spoke wheels on due to brakes been to big.
    Which of the ones above would you recommend ?
    Also what are the size of the originals thanks again

    I'm pretty sure you can run 3 spokes with the Corsa vented disks and calipers, but as milworm says, you don't want the SR calipers, they're crap.

    Stabdard are 236mm solid discs, corsa sport are 236mm vented, they're whqt you want. They'll give much better pedal feel and will fit under 3 spokes. They came on corsa b sport 1.4 16v and some mk3 astras

    Cheers millworm.. I'll keep a look out for some now . These Corsa b s seem as rare as Novas .
