Hey Guys,
Anyone no what size the pistons are in standard 126 callipers.


Cheers

126's were all drum braked as standard. The various disc brake setup's you see have either been manufactured from scratch or utilise calipers and discs from various other makes of car.

hi Rizzo'
I am using 'Cinquecento' callipers on my conversion. You can get overhaul kits for these callipers from a company called 'BIGGRED'. I have dealt with this company--got first-class service. They do overhaul kits and parts for a very large range of callipers. Spend a couple of minutes perusing their web-site---I would be surprised if they didn't have a kit/parts that covered what you need.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the 704cc watercooled 126BIS had front discs?
Something rings a bell about that.

You are definately mistaken on that one .

Mine has! ........ But it's a conversion using punto calipers and TRS adapters. All 126's had drum brakes on all four corners with no servo. I have yet to try mine out as the cars not finished but I'm expecting a vast improvement

And what happened ? I would have thought the cars too light in the front for disk brakes ? Surely the front would just lock up with power assisted disks ???
