neil88 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Hi i want to fit bigger brakes to my rally car (1.9 hubs with 14 inch compomotive mo5 wheels) and want to know which 266 brake calipers are people are using as the bosh calipers on a 206 hdi are very close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted December 1, 2006 Most people I suspect will be using the Lucas calipers from 306 XSi/S16 as that's the most common source for straight-swap 266mm brakes. Early 306 XSi's came on 14" steelies from memory and the brakes must have cleared these fine, so I'd imagine you shouldn't have any issues with your MO's which - if anything like my 15" ones - have good caliper clearance.

pug_ham 241 3 Cars Posted December 1, 2006 Early 306 XSi's came on 14" steelies from memory AFAIK early XU10 8v XSi's came with 247mm brakes, the same as the 205. Only the S16 had 266mm until the phase 2 306 XSi 16v started production & they were also fitted to the 306 hdi d turbo. This topic has more information about them also but brakeworld lists three 306 models with 266mm discs. 306 1.8 16V, 306 2.0 S16 16V & 306 2.0TD HDI. Graham.

All the Phase 1 306 XSi's I've seen have had 266mm brakes with identical calipers to the S16's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 241 3 Cars Posted December 5, 2006 All the Phase 1 306 XSi's I've seen have had 266mm brakes with identical calipers to the S16's Must be a luck of the draw then because the two or three I've seen all had 247mm discs on afaik. What does the parts CD say for the 306 phase 1 XSi? Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted December 5, 2006 266 under both bits for XU10J2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 241 3 Cars Posted December 5, 2006 266 under both bits for XU10J2. OK, looking on brakepart it has them showing as 266mm & 283mm for the S16. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
