Got hold of some 306 ap racing brakes.

What new parts do i need to fit them to a 1.6 gti??

You will need a set of 205 GTI 1.9 hubs to be able to fit the discs and calipers, the 306 disc offset is the same as a 205 1.9, but different from a 205 1.6.

 

To allow you to fit the 1.9 hubs, you will also need a pair of 1.9 driveshafts. The rest of the suspension will fit with no issues.

 

So; to sum up, you need the hubs and driveshafts from a 205 GTI 1.9.

Or a set of base model hubs and retain 1.6 shafts.

slightly off topic, but Jrod, a friend has asked me today if he can swap his 205 XS front suspension

for a 205 GTI 1.6 setup and i was sure on everything bar the driveshafts. do you reckon they will

fit the 1.6's hubs ok?

I'm using 1.6GTI driveshafts on a car that was a base model with TU engine, with the standard hubs (TU, base model hubs), so I guess he can use them vice versa

I didn't know you could use 1.6 shafts on a MA box but if 1.6 shafts fit in base model hubs I guess it will work the other way around.

 

Personally I'd use base model hubs as it just gives you more choice for brake changes in the future.
