got the same probs i had smoking brakes from it haha, mines getting done on sat, with some different calipers uni or something dunno what he said, id get 2 new calipers though or 2 same calipers, these are known for seizing all the time, mines done it twice now

crappy 1litre brakes, can hardly stop me car half the time

If you want to stick with the same sized brakes, then get the calipers and pads off a late nova, 1.2i. They are ATE and work a lot better than the early brakes.

Not worth bothering with the early Delco brakes, as it will only seize on again in a few weeks/months.

could i use my sri calipers on the 1400SR discs?? i do have a k reg 1.2i sat in the garage which i could rape for bits i suppose! Im guessing all Mk1's apart from GSi and 1ltr had the same calipers and that mk2 calipers will fit :tard: using different pads
i cant put 2ltrs brakes on becase of the wheels

Hmm, i think SRi's had vented discs, so you would need SRi discs too.
All nova calipers will fit all novas with the correct discs/pads etc.

You could fit the SRi calipers with new discs and pads, shouldn't cost too much.

Or put the 1.2i calipers onto the 1.4SR, using 1.2i pads.

I've got a set of Late GSI calipers (ATE Style), disks and pads you can have for ?10 + P&P
