    Hi,
    Has anyone done the conversion of fitting front and rear 360 calipers on a 308 gt4? Including handbrake calipers? And under 16" wheels.

    Any help pictures or diagrams would be much appreciated.

    Did you use rear handbrake calipers?
    What size disc/wheel combination did you use and was there a big improvement in the brakes?

    I did. Both front and rear. No emergencybrake callipers as I used an inline hydraulic brake

    I use 17” but during testing I used trx wheels

    I did not use 360 disks or 308 disk but a split type disk from superformance. Callipers with costum build brackets

    Thanks.
    Something along these lines are what I’m looking to do.
    Have you got any dimensions for the brakes?

    No. I started with an MDF( wood) for modeling and defined dimensions. After that I had them water-cutted from duralumin. But do not have the drawing anymore

    No only the callipers. I did use a new , slightly larger main cilinder. Bought new from a fiat Ducato van. Same outside but slightly larger bore
    I did ad an adjustable valve to enable balancing between front and rear

    348 fronts on my 308. Fit under 16” factory 308 wheels just fine.
