Saxo Front Hub The Same As 205

[Alex205vtr 1]

Just a quick question,

 

I need a hub to plan my brake setup on, brackets and clearances etc.

 

I have a saxo complete front leg sitting around, is this identical to the 205 front hub?

 

It looks the same, just want to make sure, if so it will save me taking of the 205 hub

 

Cheers

They're different. Steering rack connects to different places. Connects to upright on saxo and hub assembly on 205.

it will suffice for your intentions, the offset of the hub is the same as base model and 1.9 gti, and the radius of the brake caliper mountings are the same.

Yeah thats what I thought, do you know what the difference is between the 1.6 and the 1.9 front brake wise?

 

The only reason I ask is because on several of the brake kits, which come with 4-pots and brackets etc (but not disks), the 1.9 is more expensive ?

1.6 gti is vented bendix with 10mm taller offset discs than 1.9 girling caliper (1.9 is same disc as all vented saxo/106)

Excellent, thanks for you help welshpug, should hopefully be able to crack on with it now

We have stripped the bleed screw thread on the nearside Bendix caliper on our 1.6GTI.  We had been told that the alloy casting of a Saxo caliper is identical - we would just need to swap over the steel pad carriers.  Is that correct?  If so, what model Saxo should we be looking for?
