Is it possible to get these calipers to bolt on to a nova?

I'm tempted to go to looms and see if I can get some punto calipers to fit that mk1 nova if I could get them to fit would the effort be worth whill over a v6 setup

theres a few puntos in looms atm, was in there the other day, poor 4dr chevette in there aswell :(
And i dont see why they shouldnt fit with an adapter bracket. The V6's are bolt on though and work well enough imo

Yer but its the difference of saying I have brembo brakes lol

And I see that chevette there the other day looks a bit far gone for a project lol

AFAIK the 4pot brembos are a fair bit bigger than the V6 calipers. Don't see why you can't make them fit with the right hoses and an adapter bracket though, unless the caliper mounts in a weird way. Google says people look to fit them onto astras and the likes though...

...oh and you'd need a decent master cylinder, the V6 calipers have enough brake pedal travel let alone some nice fat 4 pots lol

Lmfao might just buy a v6 set up have them powdercoated red and pretend after the cost of getting the brakes and getting some new mounts made up I could properly get a set ready made for the car

Brembo are just an OEM like all the others, but they also supply to chavs lol
