brake conversion

[J122LVR]

does any1 know anything about putting calibra 16v front brakes on a 1.2 nova my car is a 1.2 flair with 1.4 engine in it. do i need to change anything along the lines of my servo pumping my brake fluid as there is no presure after bleeding them. thanx craig

[Ste L]

should just be a straight swap, should need to change the servo,

im sure a few people om here run a standard servo with 16v brakes

[Adam]

You don't have to change the servo, i wouldn't bother.
You need at least 14" wheels to fit 16v calipers under though.

i have astra 15's on

problem is theres just nothing no pressure wot so ever i dont understand it i have even bled the rears

[Adam]

Sounds like theres a leak in a pipe and letting the pressure out, or the seals have gone at the master cylinder end.

[J122LVR]

if there is a leak then what would u recomend doing i.e. new pipes or just go to the scrappers

[Adam]

Well pipes from a scrap car will probably be rusted, and maybe leaking themselves. Just get some a new pipe fitted where the leak is.
Have you noticed an patches of fluid on your drive floor or anything.
