caliper

[macc nova]

got some 16v calipers from the scrappy the other day and forgot to ask what car they were from so i can buy pads, the gm code is: FN52/241 does anybody know what car there off?

All 16v calipers should be the same unless you didnt get pukka ATE 16v ones.

16v refers to those from a Cav, Astra GTE 16v/GSi, Calibra etc

256mm discs x 24mm thick & again pads to suit those vehicles listed.

i'm tryin to get in touch with the scrappy but no look yet, vectra rings a bell though, would they be 16v or v6?

No mate, the '16v' calipers arent used new by Vauxhall for ages now, a '16v' Vectra would actually have 288mm 'V6' brakes on it. LOL (confusing)

[edit] the Vectra will be 5 stud, so discs need re-drilling to 4 & spigot rings to align the disc on the nova hub.

288 Vectra V6 brake behind a 15" Tigra rim.

Here they are before I fitted them, new GM discs & pads cost ?50 through trade club which is damn cheap!

Maybe that is of help to identify what you have.
