Rear disc brake

[131racing]

Hi im going to fit a fiat 132 diff for stronger shafts and i want to convert it from shoes to discs .can anyone tell me if the front fiat 131 discs and calipers are good .is it good that comes the same dimensions front and rear?

To fit rear discs it would be best to get a 132 diff already fitted with them. An Argenta diff would probably be a better choice.
The 131 - 125 - 132 discs are the same but the rear calipers are different as they incorporate a hand brake mechanism which you will need.  You also need the caliper mount bracket for the rear plus the backing plates. This is why I say get the complete set up out of a 132.
Be aware of the different ratio & that it will throw your speedo (odometer) out.
Also check out the track width which from memory is a fair bit narrower than a 131.
There is also a bit of dicking around with attatching the rear handbrake cable to the 131 handbrake lever. There is also a bit of cutting & welding to get the mounts correct.
If you are going to do all this then there are better choices out there than an old 132 rear axle.

Mated to shortened Fiat small handbrake cable works great & lsd is great fun

Now that is what I am talking about boys 
I did a similar thing with a Holden Torana diff into my 131 but it has Fiat 132 rear discs & callipers.

I already have 132 diff and rear 132 calipers to fit .is it good that fit 131 front discs in it .they become all front and rear the same size.is it good ?

[sid131]

Lol!
i reckon you will have to try the fitment & tell us how it went

[POQ 131]

Yes it is good. All the discs on my 131 are the exact same Brembo unit that I got from my friendly Fiat dealer Angelo Frangiosa.
When you fit the discs, set them up for correct run out with a dial gauge. All four discs being the same means that you can juggle them from hub to hub & hole to hole to get it right. This controls how much the pads throw off the disc. Minimum run out gives a better pedal because the pads move in less to grab the disc.

Has the 132 & Argenta limited slip diff or are they only one wheelers?
