The bolts rotated in the holes and my friendly neighbor welded then to the hub. Removed the box and dedion yesterday and everything still looks fine.

Seems like he had done avery good job then

, it's not that easy to weld on that cast iron hub, usually needs to be pre-heated and the use of the correct cast -welding electrode(or cast iron filler wire pn tig).

He said it is a bit tricky and used some special electrode.
In this field he know his stuff. Welded some cyl heads and cast exhaust manifold for me as well.

Tuner:

It shouldn't take that long to swim to Italy. Just the way back is heavyish with them rotors on your back

WOW!! RZ, where did you get that stuff? That's a very good price!!

I didn't know that new GTAs had different calipers, those ones are easier to fit in my GTV6 than mines!

the new gta has bigger calipers and bigger disks 330mm and because the first series were bad on the 156 and 147 i think the second series is cheap!!www.tuynder.nl is the address to get original alfa spares for low prizes.

are you still running the booster with that setup? and what about master cylinder size? if u plan on keeping the rear brakes standard have u thought about a step master cylinder like used in some of the older mercedes and such.

rz · Post by rz » Mon Sep 11, 2006 7:35 am

the brakes are not yet on the car,but i am planning to leave everything standard.when the pedal travel will be to big i will place a 25mm mastercylinder from a 7 series bmw.

oh ok fair enough. well hurry up and let us know how u go already lol. i think the 25mm master may be the way to go though.

RZ, please keep us informed about the mods you'll need to do make it all fit on your hubs (stock, aren't they?)
