    So as the 308 brakes are, at best, like uhhh... 30 year old brakes I decided to upgrade my trackcar brakesystem

    After giving it quite some though I ended up with a set containing:


    Disks from the Super performance upgrade set on front and rear
    calipers from a 360 with brackets which I designed for this conversion. Also front and rear.
    A new mastercilinder ( Fiat ducato Van, which has a slightly larger diameter but is identical in lay-out, but can be bought for around us$70)
    a proportioning valve
    a hydraulic handbrake to avoid a second seperate handbrake caliper on the rear. (Over here this is allowed by law.)


    I will replace the stock pads for EBC yellowstuff and use ATE racing blue for oil.


    So, now I have some real brakes!



    PS I obviously will replace the metrics wheels...

    Neat !! I've also been looking at SF discs ? Did you use there center bell/ tophat as well ?
    Do you know what the Brembo part number is for that caliper ?
    Well done on finding the mastercylinder !!!Could you have kept the old caliper just for the handbrake ?
    Keep us posted on how they work ?

    Thanx guys,


    the credit for finding the master cilinder is all for Bert308. He mentionned it somewhere in his gtb to gto thread.
    I don't know the brembo number for the disks. I ordered both disks and hats from Super performance

    The handbrake has his own cilinder ( but I kept the orignal master as it was in good working order, but replacing after 32 years seems apropriate:):)

    I didn't think your old wheels would fit over that setup. What size are the rotors?
