Any ATE calipers and 256mm disks will do - from Cav 2L, Astra GTE or Gsi, Calibra (all models) etc etc etc

will the calipers fit on my standard nova hubs?

[djbrowney]

can i get them new from any were? and then if i get calibra calipers can i just order calibra discs?

Yeah Calibra/ Astra GTE 16v or Cav GSi (256mm) discs are all same.
Quite cheap from motor factors too. It all just bolts on even the std Nova brake hoses are fine. Its pretty much the 1st mod anyone should do to any Nova.

After that Vectra V6 stuff is the next biggest at 288mm but will needdrilling to 4 stud & spigot rings to fit + 15" wheels minimum.

From what I've seen about £60-70 per caliper Craig, that sound about right?

I have a pair of nearly new (20k useage) 16v calipers. Was keeping them but could be persuaded to part with them.

I bought them new a few years ago. No discs or pads tho. PM me.

[Benn]

Dont bother with rear disc^

[djbrowney]

Auto Vaux sell calipers at a reasonalbe cost but IMO just buy some from scrap yard !
