Giulia SS Brake Pads

291 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  LSweeney

Hello! Forgive me if this subject has been covered already. My search efforts have not produced any answers. I am looking for a source for brake shoes and front pads for my 1965 Alfa Giulia SS. Are they the same spec as for veloce cars? Are they available? I had heard a rumor that they are not and require relining of the original metal components. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They are the same as 101 Veloce spiders. Front pads should be commonly available as the calipers were used on several cars including Aston Martin and Jaguar. Rear linings are available from Tony at Alfa Stop check the website for US phone number.

For the street I use Ferodo 2500 pads matched with rear linings from Tony, with no boost it brake effectively. keeps my right leg in shape

I like your colour and no bumper look.

Regards,
Don

Thank Don! I will look to get those. The color is Azzuro Spazio- Space Blue. Not a color that was probably ever factory painted on an SS, but a period correct AR color. That photo was from this last Saturday, on the third day of the Targa California. The little gem did over 800 miles in 5 days. Two days were out in the desert at over 100 degrees. She ran like a champ! But clearly braking can be improved, so looking to gather the parts needed.

Thanks Guys! Here are a few from Cars and Coffee in Rancho Santa Fe this last fall. I expect some video on the Auto Kennel site from this weekend's Targa Califorinia will show the car in action. I will post a link when it drops.
