Title: RS 911 aluminum calipers - help needed
Post by: miro-1980 on May 18, 2009, 08:52:23 PM
Guys,

I was told you can put the RS 911 calipers into standard 13" wheels on 131.

Anybody had the experience in actually doing it ?

Before I spend 600 euro for the calipers I would like to know of there are any mounting/ use  issues ?

That?s heavy, recently i was testing if a Tipo 2.0 16V front calipers for ventilated 257mm discs would fit into the original Supermirafiori 14" wheels and they rub the wheel a bit. The non-ventilated variant will fit nicely. I Would like to see how a 911 calipers would fit into a 13 inchers... anybody knows more?

Fiat used thease capliers on some of the 131 abarth rally cars as well as ap capilers.
but they where always on 15" wheels.

Uno Turbo use 240mm ventilated discs in 13" wheels.
Look here http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=50093718
I?m not quite sure what modification to the caliper mounting is needed if any.

Uno T brakes bolt straight up to a 131 apparently, I looked into it a few years ago but considering we didn't get the Uno in OZ I ended up using regata calipers and larger discs. 13" wheels won't fit my car now. A bit more info here!

Honda civic vented discs(257mm) with calipers will fit into 13" wheels. I used to have such setup in my FSO Polonez rally car some time ago.
