Brakes

[Mrsmith]

Hey all I have a 1lt nova saloon and am think of puting my Vectra 1997 1.8 16v front brakes onto it is it possible and wot do I need except for the brakes and bigger wheels to do the swap ta Marcus

[davie_slim]

Brakes will either be 236mm or 255mm, just need the calipers and pad carriers, and maybe the discs and pads if there ok, both will fit under 14" wheels

[Stuart]

note the 256mm brakes WONT fit under 14" nova 3 spokes (without massive grinding)

Ok ta I have everythink it's my old car jst striping it for parts for mine and thanks was a big help dnt need to change any brake lines then

Brake lines are the same through out for the caliper connections

I've got 256mm brakes under 14" steelies...grind them calipers up!

I thought it depended on if the wheels were ET49 or 47.5?

Will fit under the 14" steels with no grinderizing though.

i always used them on my corsas so i could keep the standard 14" sport and gsi wheels
