jerseypug 1 Posted March 18, 2008 i am trying to put 1.6 calipers on the rear beam and the s16 disks i have are the correct offset but the diamater is too large. 247mm (the same size as the standard rear 205 1.9 disks) is the right diamater but the 1.9 front disks are thr right diamater but have a different offset. does anyone know if the 306 247mm disks have the same offset as the s16 disks. the 1.9 rear disks fit ok but the piston is extended too far as the disk is 8mm instead of 20mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuF215 1 1 Cars Posted March 18, 2008 Not sure about the s16 discs but have u tried front 1.6 discs they might fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted March 18, 2008 205 1.9 and 306 vented 247mm front disks are identical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerseypug 1 Posted March 18, 2008 thanks for the help the 1.6 front disk offset is worse than the 1.9 i have had a look at the peugeot parts cd but it does not show how much offset the disks have. running 3 brake pads will work but i would never feel confident with them.

pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted March 18, 2008 The S16 disc offset is the same as the 1.9 / 306 247mm disc iirc. If you can get the five sided bolt on the 1.6 calipers undone & transfer the pad slider across from a 1.9 rear caliper using the normal hex head bolts from that to hold it back on. Other than that a decent set of mole grips shld get the five sided bolt undone. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham. thanks for the idea Graham, the 5 sided bolts put up a good fight. i managed to get them off but the 1.9 rear pad sliders are too close to the disk, i wouldnt be able to get a pad in there. i might try and get a tube turned on the lathe that fits inside the piston and extends 12mm further out. this is better than using 3 brake pads. its not ideal but should be safe and work.

pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted March 19, 2008 Have a look for some BX front calipers or base model 205 bendix calipers, the pad slider is wider on these so they might work. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
