    Hi i am still working on my 71 euro 246gt and have to change the front discs as they are worn down to 19mm i have a new set of Brembo replacements which are for a 308 which i was informed will fit provided i add a spacer.
    Does anybody have experience in this matter ?
    I can make any thing i require in the way of tools spacers ect so any help would be appreciated.

    I don't think that kit will fit 14" wheels, you'll need 16's.

    you'd probably get better answers in the 308 section about that.

    or...

    and finally...

    a search reveals about 4 pages of threads on this from 308 guys. Since the parts swap out, I would think much of the info would, too.

    Happy hunting,

    Dave

    They are also just about to replicate both Cromadora's AND Campy's in 16" versions !

    As the choice in tires for 14" Dino wheels declines to 1 expensive one, 16" wheels would be a godsend.
    I see what are presumably 14" Campys are listed now at the reasonable 700 G
    BP for 4.

    Yes, I did it last week..

    you use 308 discs... then you machine 5mm off the outside of the wheel mounting surface of the 308 discs, then use the original 246 wheel spacer which is 5mm...but on the INSIDE before you mount the disc to the hub... the spacer needs to be machined down to fit inside of course...

    You'll need to fine tune the calliper mounting shims for perfect symmetry... probably. I didn't... but I measured VERY carefully first ;)
