hello every one

ive just got a full 288 brake set for the nova and just wanted to know if any one got any pictures for redrilling the discs? all so do you have to make anything up for it to sit central on the hub?
any pictures of them fitted would be a big help :)

cheers ben

If theyre fiat coupe discs just run a mm bigger bit through.then use a spigot ring to make putting the wheel on easier.

if you've got a fixed drill doing them will be fine aslong as you centre punch them or mark up the centres right, well assuming you can measure up right, i did the clutch cover bolt holes on my flywheel and one was about 0.5MM out and the rest we're perfect, aslong as you have the intuition and patience it will be fine, otherwise get someone else to do it

id like to try and do them my self but i think it might be best to get them done by some one who knows what there doing lol


the meriva discs are only 280mm there not going to fit the 288 carrier? are they?

Ben, Ive got Meriva disc's on my Corsa with Vec V6 calipers, obviously the disc IS marginly smaller then what should be intended for the caliper but they work fine. Its a tried & tested method but its kinda marmite. Some people prefer V6 disc;s redrilled, some just want an easy life.
