The question is, will the Palio 240mm vented brake set (pic below) fit the Cinq Abarth speed line rims? Supposedly they are p&p for all 13" rims, but I need to be sure. Anyone?

I know the Uno Turbo disc/caliper will fit inside the 5 spoke 13" speedlines.
Uno vented disc is 240mm x 20mm, the Palio disc seems to be the same size but as others have pointed out the Palio had 14" wheels & the calipers looks identical to the 94-97 Punto GT ones so your guess is as good as mine.
 
The thing is Palio had two types, 240 and 257 mm. The 240mm ones certainly fit some 13" rims possibly with a spacer. I only do not know about these particular rims. But Ouby's answer gives me a good hint that they should.
 
I think early Palio's had 14" wheels & presumably the 240mm discs. Later ones presumably had the Fiat 'standard' size 257mm discs & 15" wheels.
The calipers in the photo look like the ones used on a wide variety of Fiats circa 94-97. I can measure the depth of the ones on my Sei if you want me too, add that to the disc size & you will know if they will fit.
PS: Threads mentioning UT disc/calipers + 13" speedlines mentioned 3mm spacers.
 
Had a measure up today -but my mind was more on replacing the arb/wishbone brackets so i hope i was looking at the right end on the tape :eek:
IF the calipers are the same dimensions as the Punto Gt ones you will need a wheel ID of 280mm minimum.
Seems like a lot of clearance for 13" alloys to me.... but i have Mk1 Fiesta calipers running inside 10" Mini wheels & they are tight, damn tight :eek:
 
I offered up the 257mm on my current 14" rims, and in comparison to the standard 240mm there isn't a lot of difference. Infact I seem to remember reading a post where someone put the 257's behind 13" rims. I think you're type of caliper is not as tall as the standard one. I think it will fit.

I offered up the 280mm alfa brakes behind 14" rims, they were only 11mm out from fitting.

Do mtec do drilled and grooved discs in that size?
