Ok guys, just finished off the rear discs on the cinq (well my mate jon did)
Started with uno turbo hubs, calipers, caliper mounts, discs and pads.
Everything was a straight swap, a diff brake line needed making up to connect to the caliper either side.
Also the handbrake cable needed modifing as it wasnt long enough on one side. The handbrake cable doesnt appear to be long enough if fitted through the original brackets going under the car so it has to be trailed under the tank (if that makes sense)
the handbrake holds rock solid and braking seems to be more efficent.
will get pics up asap

Re: Finished rear Discs

Nice one mate,

I'll be picking up my whole rear axle from a UT tomorrow, so will be doing this soon.

You say you (read Jon lol) had to make up a new brake line, was this is brake pipe section or the actual flexi section?

Aaron.

Re: Finished rear Discs

ill try and answer as best i can mate,
basically the pipe which went from the drum (the last 15 cm or so needs replacing) as the calipermoves or something. John said if a solid line was connected (the one which is on the drum originally) after time it might pop off as the caliper moves

As promised, rear disc pics

Tidy

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

cheers mate, as i said before the handbrake is outstanding now!!!!
it works amazingly well

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

just think i should exaplin, the last 2 pics shows the brake pipe which needs to be made up and connected, the second pic shows the original cinq handbrake cable connected. unfortunatly it does not route the same as the cable is not long enough.

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

how do u do the coverstion? is it prices

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

What are the brakes taken from, Punto GT/Uno turbo or something? Looks a nice conversion anyway

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

Taken from an uno turbo and wasnt very expensive although sourcing the parts was a lil tricky
the actual conversion was easy really, (althought all the credit goes to john fron jon dell motorsports) who did the actual conversion, made up the braided lines and modified the handbrake cable.

Uno Turbo brakes, and very nifty they are, just need to be red and I'll get the tipex

BREMBO

sorted

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

they are done silver now mate, stand out well behind the anthercite punto gt alloys

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

Have you done anything to maintain the pedal height?

Cheers

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

pedal height stayed the same mate,
all the system was bled when they were installed but the pedal hasnt changed at all

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

Lucky, the calipers must have a smaller bore than the Punto ones.

Cheers

Re: As promised, rear disc pics

nice job mate, looks good.

Would fitting uno turbo rear hubs to a cinq make any difference in the raer track of the car and does the wheel sit further away or closer to the rear suspension arm?

Thanks

David

technically im not too sure, but from what ive noticed it doesnt seem to.
