brakes

What brakes will fit under three spokes:confused:

[mowgli]

std delco & vented delco... bmw156 got some 236mm vents with ate calipers under some with a bit of grinding.. i think it depends on rim size. what are yours?

[Stuart]

and the offset of the 3 spokes as there was two different ones.

[AlexW]

256mm 2.0 brakes will fit, but will need a fair amount of grinding, not reccommened

[mowgli]

256mm 2.0 brakes won't fit, as they need a fair amount of grinding, not recommended

yes well thats what mine is on atm, it works well :d

[gazjoiner]

i would not fit early delco calipers to any nova! hell no

[Steve]

I think corsa gsi brakes fit, not 100% on it but iirc they are 256mm X 20mm as opposed to the 2.0 16v which are 256mm X 24mm

[AlexW]

^
The calipers are indeed smaller, but iirc even they need trimming

[gazjoiner]

and the offset of the 3 spokes as there was two different ones.

i have a 5 set of gsi 3 spokes.
5Jx14
ET47.5

et49 16" speedlines ftw!:roll: :p :thumb:

iirc 3spokes come in 4.5J too, which dont clear bugger all, oh and make sure there all the same if you ever buy a set.

yes they made a couple of variants! lol

5j

4.5j

i hope they didnt make them smaller

[AlexW]

Theres some funked up 13inch 3spokes, basicaly the same as 13inch steelss lol

[vauxboi]

well mine are all 14inch et47.5 5j but ideally i need 15inch rims to get some good brakes on there in which case if i had some GM alloys what brakes would you recommend

[AlexW]

As said, 2.0 256mm brakes. Will fit under 15inch wheels easy.

[vauxboi]

do cav's use them

[Steve]

cav gsi's sri 16v, mk2 astra gte 16v, mk3 astra gsi, all the same

[jimbob-mcgrew]

vented gte/gsi brakes are the biggest ive seen under them without any grinding involved.
gte's/gsi's use slightly bigger diameter brake lines from the master cyclinder too.

so what would i need to have the brakes working obviously the calipers and discs but what else

thats it bud , they are a straight swap/direct fit!

you will need to remove the dust/sh1t gaurd from the hub if you fit the 256mm set up

they are on all calibras and the 2.0 gl cavs aswell

[vauxboi]

perfect cheers sparkie so if i ask on here for a 2.0 litre set of cav brakes there is only one size which is 256mm
