Re: 330mm Brake Upgrade

All hope may not be lost for you Peter..

If AlfaDublins calipers actually are the exactly same as those that come as standard on older GTA's with 305mm discs, (and I dont personally know that they are) maybe they also work with a different type of disc such as that he is using ?
AlfaDublin referred to a floating disc, and in the picture it sort of looks like these discs dont extend inwards as much as the standard 330mm discs?
Maybe this allows the use of the smaller caliper with "special" 330mm dics? I'm sure Alfa Dublin could clarify by provinding the part number or something for you?

RE my calipers - I had a look at the old pads that came off my calipers recently to try and see what type of pad they had.
Stamped on the pads is "Ferodo 4446" but not sure is this the relevent number

I started a thread a few weeks ago asking if the 305 mm and 330mm are identical.. if they were, then i wanted to fit larger disks from the start..but concesus was that they where different.. then looking at AlfaDublins, i thought they looked exactly like the regular 305mm calipers

I'm not a doctor - but I really do recommend braking later
