Fitting 197 Brembos onto a 182

[Dave Q]

Hi folks, just bought some 197 brembo calipers to fit on my 182, just wondering what else is required to make these fit? Just got standard size discs at the moment. I know a new bracket is required but with Regards to brake lines will my current braided ones be cool?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

No you'll need lines which have the banjo fittings on the end.

the calipers need maching aswell, 5mm off the mounting face I think.

Looking at the calipers I thought this might be the case. Cheers man, I'll sort them out.

Cheers Bozo, think they may be ok with 280mm discs under 16's but I'll give them a trial fit when I've got the brackets and take off what's required.
Thanks mate.

Is it not machined to get the pad surface area better seated on the 280mm discs?

Yeah.

If running 16" wheels and a certain size disc, no machining is needed.

Id take the upright, disc, bracket and caliper into wherever you will machine them and take off whatever amount you need to make sure the pads arnt missing the outer edge of the disc. Taking 5mm off a 300mm bracket and the calipers might be okay but wouldnt on the brackets I have

I’m running the PMS brackets with 300mm brembo discs, no machining needed.

Nice, they look clean as f###. Mine need a good scrub down.

Callipers were new ?

Cheapest way to buy the discs is to wait for Eurocarparts to have a flash sale, I paid £50 for the pair!

Would love new but cant complain at 160 quid for a perfectly working pair, with pads. ?

Yeah, I'll do that. Even put the part number from euros into Carparts4less, same company, but cheaper, and do discounts like 12 percent etc.
Gsf car parts too are usually good for me.
