Brake question

[Djw Dave]

Are Clio16v Mk1 calipers the same as 5 Gtt calipers?

it seems they are the same part number in the brakeword catalog but the clio runs 260mm disks and the 5 runs 238mm ones

are just the carriers different? or is the whole thing the same and the clio hub makes it sit futher out??

yeah they are, the discs are just differnt i think to the position of the holes in the hubs

 

[Djw Dave]

Anyone?

eh?

different sized discs, theyll go on fine, with the right calipers and carriers.

Wouldnt like to comment on the calipers, they could be the same, just not sure.
Theyre both girling calipers, and are the same from what I can gather - but I dont actually know this for sure.

hrm still no further forward then

i know the calipers are the same part number however this probably only refers to the actual caliper body as opposed to the entire assembly with the carrier fitted

ive asked the bloke i baught them from to measure the disks as he said they came from a clio 16v so they should be correct but i cant see any reason why the carriers would have TURBO stamped into them unless they were the R5GTT items instead of the clio ones

just dont wanna rip the old stuff off and find out its not right and need to refit it all

gen please

 

[Djw Dave]

Really need to find this out.

Up we go!

 

[Mark@Ritchspeed]

Calipers and pads themselves are the same. The carriers and discs are different.

 

[Djw Dave]

so i guess the fact the carriers are stamped TURBO would imply ive actually been given some from a 5 instead of a 16v like they shouldve been..?

 

[Djw Dave]

Bump. Really need to find this out quite urgently.

Thanks in advance

 

[Djw Dave]

Bump. anyone?

 

[madmax]

[Djw Dave]
