Valver Brakes on a RT

[DTWD]

Hi, I hate my breaks. Whenever I really need them they tend to either let me down or just save my ass. They dont fill me with confidence, and I am not pushing the car either when I have asked for there assistance in some delicate rear of volvo avoiding action. Anyway I wish to pop the front valver breaks onto my rt. Now I know its been done before. So what do I need off the doner car?

Also I was thinking about swapping the rear brakes over aswell. What would I need off the valver for this, and is it even possible without to much messing about? Even if there is a lot of messing about, what would it entale?

been sayiong it for ages....

All you need are teh calipers, new pads and discs..........

they bolt straight on, no worries......then bleed and your off!

Thats really all there is

yeah, dont bother with the rear, not needed

 

[Mike Wright]

Forget the rear ones its not worth the hassle and expense!

u also need the 16b caliper bolts as the rt ones are too long

 

[BenR]

the calipers should come with them!??

 

[BRUN]

yea, but if they dont u need the bolts, as i did, from Renault

there about £1.40 each....

 

[CS_Matt]

same way i found out brun lol

started winding in my rt bolts and they didnt go all the way in, atrip to reno was needed

Ok chappies, as soon as I can find some valver breaks I will get them. If anyone knows where I can get some shout up. Any ideas on price?

ps I had a comming together with a black and white cat today. Not pleasent for the cat. My brakes couldnt even scrub off 15 mph in a few metres. I hit the cat and carried on for about a meter.

So thats 1 dog, 1 cat and a deer. Just a rabit and a pheasent before I get the full set!
