Regarding http://www.rsgparts.nl/product-categorie/alfa-romeo-adapters/ V6 TB and 3.0 V6 12v adapters should be the same as 156/147. TS adapters should be the same for 145/146/155. I would be interested in set of adapters for TB, but everything depends on price.

 

That's not valid.

 

Brake disc offsets are different in all models.

 

For example, a 284mm disc from 145 / 146 2.0 ts will NOT fit a GTV 2.0 ts, despite having the same brakes!

 

To fully understand this, the same goes for brake discs of Gtv 2.0 12v tb to Gtv 2.0 ts. There is a 4mm difference in the offset, despite the fact that they have the same diametre discs....

 

If any1 is in need for brake adapters, dont hesitate to contact! I have ready-to-ship adapter sets for 166 Brembo (310x28mm) to GTV 1.8 / 2.0 TS and also for 166 Brembo (310x28mm) to GTV 2.0 v6 tb & 3.0 12v.

You want 305mm discs, while you have 166 Brembo brakes (which take 310mm disc)?

 

Or i understood something incorrectly?

I'm afraid of redrilling 310mm discs  from 5 x108 to 5 x98. 305mm discs bolt on ready, correct?

Monte, wait until my disks will be drilled to see how is done because you will not need to drilled another 5 new holes

In the actual holes they make them oval to fit 5x98

From 108 to 98 are only 10mm, no need for other new holes near the existing ones

So you will not have 10 holes in the disk

You will see

Please check this picture

As you see they drill in the same hole, a little bit lower

I was early this year to inspection (MOT) and my rear brakes are not working as they should be, means the rear wheels are not stoping, freezing on the brake stand

With the brake pedal pressed at maximum the wheels are still rotating

If you have idees how can i solvet please share

Thank you! One more question. Will my standard 16 inch wheels fit on these 310 mm discs with Brembo calipers? :)

Rear wheel dont lock, by applying brake-pedal...!

 

When you say that they still rotate, you mean that 1 person pressed the brake pedal and a 2nd person was still able to rotate the wheels by hand? If so, then yes, you have problem for sure..!

 

Both rear calipers have the problem? And in the same degree?

 

Check hoses... Also the installation of rear pads was done correctly?

 

If any of the above, then check brake distributor and ABS module.  Also check handbrake-cables (seized ones could cause function problems...)

 

If any of the above again, then .. dont know..! New calipers?

The car was tested on brake stand not by hand so i dont know if degree between calipers is different

It brakes but with very little force

Rear pads for sure are installed correctly

Handbrake is good

Is there any way to check the brake distributor? Dont know what to check

It's a bit hard to see on your pictures but it seems that you have rear braking load proportioning valve with

a lever, is the spring between the lever and rear ARB connected and intact, is the lever free to move, is the

lever pre-load set correctly.

 

On the rear brake calipers can the handbrake lever on them move completely back to its resting position when you release the handbrake?

 

When you replace the rear brake pads was the pistons screwed into the brake calipers?

Hi 

The handbrake lever i guess you mean the one from the interior of the car, if yes, when i release the heandbrake, the lever is back to his resting position

The heandbrake works fine and when i use it after i park on the hill for example, the car is not moving, it stays there just fine only with the handbrake (i guess the calipers are working fine)

The problem is when i use the brake pedal seems the wheels are still rotating on the brake stand

 

The front adapters are done, please check pictures, now i will need to go to powdercoat the calipers :)
