Have been thining the last few days after taking my calipers off for an overhaul,

Would it be possible/feasible/worthwhile to...
- Get some brakets made up to move the Brembo cailper outwards
- Get some custom made bells from Willwood or Highspec etc
- Get some discs that are same width as Original Fiat
- make some new pipes

and squeeze them all under an 18 inch wheel?

Think of the extra leverage the pad would have on the disc!

Anyway just a thought, opinions welcome - I might try and draft up the parts needed on Autocad and ask some people smile

Thank

Al

Oh and in addition, the Bell/Disc setup would be track day friendly weight wise smile

And would also utilise the standard pads and calipers for easy installation/future parts etc

I almost went down this route but to fit a 2-piece AP setup inside a 16" Plus wheel. Give BG Developments a call, they will be able to help.
