Brembo's on cortina hubs?
b14wrc - 10/11/10 at 12:18 PM

Has any one fitted Brembo four pot calipers as used on the likes of the Evo on to Cortina mk 5 hubs??

I have been playing around with this idea and it does not look 100miles out, some sort of bracket and mods to the calliper will be required, just wondering if it has been tried....

Cheers Rob

Depends on disk diameter and caliper thickness

Hi,

Thanks for replies.

I am looking at using a Capri vented disc, it's the v6 one and it's about 240mm. I am wanting to run 15" wheels.

With this disc I will probably need to modify the calipers a bit, which I don't mind doing. They actually weigh about the same as the steel twin pots that came with the cortina hubs!
