16v brakes onto an RT...

[StevieP]

Got some 16v brakes from a R19 and need to whack them on my RT sometime next week.

Read somewhere that Ill need new bolts cus "the RT ones will be too long", what bolts are these and how many of them will I need from Renault?

Master brake cylinder, if it needs changing cus of long pedal travel is it a DIY job or garage thing?

Cheers,

Stevie P.

I have done that upgrade. I didnt need no new bolts. Std are more than enough.
Master brake cylinder... cant tell. My RT comes std with alot of valvers mechanic and interior. I have the same pedal travel as I had on the std RT calipers. Or you dont need the valve master brake cylinder or my car already comes with it.

anything can be a DIY.

the brake pedal travel is very minimal, you wont notice it after a days driving

i needed new bolts, cant remember what they were called exactly, but take the calipers to Ren with everythin you have, an they should be able to see whats missin

yea i needed new bolts too, two for each caliper. got mine with the calpiers a bought. as far as the travel on pedal goes i have noticed a bit more travel but not bothering me at all, and the improvement in braking is substantial!!! (well couldnt be any worse than the standard braking!!!).
