Common brake upgrades for 240mm solid discs owners

[lowtechguy]

If you have cinquecento, seicento, bravo/a 1.2, punto mk1, punto mk2 etc with fire engines then the below applies to you:

The front brake calipers can be directly swapped from these cars to a Punto, in combination with at least 14" wheels for clearance issues:

Marea 1.6 auto saloon (not manual)
Marea 1.6 estate
Marea 1.8, 1.9TD 100 & TD110 (not 2.4)
Tempra 2.0 petrol & TD
Bravo/a 1.8, 1.9TD 100
Tipo 2.0 8 valve
Punto GT mk1
Alfa 155 1.8 8v or 1.8 16v (not 2L)

These are 257mm ventilated discs, where the standard Punto items are 240mm solid ones.

The punto mk2 sporting and 1.2 and 1.4 bravo/a calipers fit too however these are 257mm solid versions.

Nothing else needed than the above mentioned calipers and discs? New hoses off course, but no need for a caliper adapter?

The Panda JTD and 100hp even uses the same pad as the Cinquecento, Seicento, Punto 55/60/75. Punto Mk2 1.2 8v.

No need for any adapters no, they're all a straight swap.

red dot are very good but mainly cheaper than most others.

TBh, this is supposed to be a sticky so can you start a new thread please!
