v6 brakes set up

[raymond]

ive just got some calipers for some v6 brakes now i know to use fiat coupe turbo disks but do you need the spiggot rings or something like that for them to fit or are they a simple swap over and everything will be ok

many thanks

Ye need some spigots.

And one hole needs elongating iirc.

i may be talking total **** here, but iirc correctly v6 are 288mm and turbo are 284mm, so you must use turbo pads otherwise the v6 ones will over hand by 2mm...

Or use the proper 288mm discs from Vauxhall which are ?50 trade club incl the right pads.

I dont want to spark off a list of what discs might work (again) but surely for the sake of ?6 or summat, it makes more sense to have the right pads & discs?

But the 288 disks are 5 stud. The Fiat disks are 4 stud and the PCD is VERY close...

So much so, I managed to get some on with only about 20 seconds of filing one hole..:)

lmf sell them in 4 stud for ?95

cheers mate

will f did you use the spiggot rings or not :thumb:

The fiat ones work fine, i use them all the time an have no problems. If you buy the vauxhall ones then yuo need to pay someone to re drill them. Plus i would rather not have about 6 million holes in my discs and you dont need the rings but it does make your life easier.
