Ok guys


Out of a wreck I am rebuilding a 1973 Spider 2000 Veloce and I've got a problem with my frontbrakes.

The frontbreakcalliper seem to be not the original one. They are ATE callipers with a pistondiameter of 57mm. The original one is 48mm.

Here they are. Does anyone know what type of Alfa they come from?

I borrowed an original calliper from a mate of mine, but found out the originals won’t fit. Also the spindler has different measurement.

Hope someone can help me. After 3 years the car is almost finished, but I can’t run it without frontbreaks.


Thanks

I don't know (they might even be from another maker) but can't you send them off to be rebuild by a brake specialist, as I assume they fit the brake brackets and disks.

They are from a VW bus. For vintage legal racing in the states or for those who want to eliminate the brake booster, the larger bore diameter gives more hydraulic advantage to the front.

Your kiddin me! To think I, a treu Alfa-adict, must run VW part. But o.k. thanks a lot for your answer, I'll check out a VW-shop (never looked for them, so I hope I can find them) and will post here if I got a couple os sealkits.
