Technical punto gt brake upgrade

scottc1088 · May 20, 2007

iv had a search but cant seem to find what i want to know.
basically i need to know whats needed to fit punto gt brakes to the front of a cinq, obviously i need calipers, discs and pads. do the calipers bolt onto the hubs or is there a hanger that i also need off the punto?
not had a look at any punto's so i dont know but iv done a few brake upgrades on vauxhall's which require the hanger aswell
thanks

No hanger required straight fit, just need 14's.

ok cheers, picking the wheels up wednesday

be careful,not all 14" allow enough clearence.the likes of minilite or deep spoked style can catch

comp mo's ok?

What about Punto GT 14's?

Brooky · May 21, 2007

erm,maybe abit obvious but i think they will certainly fit,as they are the wheels that are from the car which the brakes were taken from

PuntoBaz.NE · May 21, 2007

I didnt know if the hubs where the same size, do cinqs have spacers on the front?

Brooky · May 21, 2007

yes,3mm as standard

If your gonna put Punto GT wheels on a cento your looking at 15mm hubcentrics all round, tried and tested

Mmmm let me think, oh that's right my car also had Mo's on it as well. 14" 6J ET35 8mm spacers at front only, though maybe the 10mm Fiat ones would have been better.

And just for good measure there's the rear with Uno turbo disc conversion before anyone asks about that as well.

I suppose it could happen, I remember watching the Mary Rose being lifted out the water on Blue Peter as a kid, sure the historians said it had just been taken out by the local Speed Ship Shop for a test sail, some new modified rudder or somethinghad been fitted to better its 1/4 round the world time, then it sunk

A set of 14" Lancia Delta wheels went unbid on the Bay of e last week at 99p as well!
