gernster Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Before I commit to spending a load of cash on new brakes for the kadett, I am toying with upgrading to the manta setup now in preparation for the red top next year, so has anyone got a serviceable and useable set of disks/calipers/pads/flexys from a 1.8/1.9 manta? I am reliably informed they are a direct fit to the original kadett hubs. In West Yorkshire but I can arrange a courier to collect if you box em up.

mantadoc Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 You may be better searching the tech bits for how to use Audi vented disks with Vectra calipers, good Manta calipers are in short supply (says the guy that just had the last AP Lockhead / Delphi factory recon unit for R/H shipped from the UK factory). ALthough "pattern" and exchange recon are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantasrme Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a set of 2 pot calipers and solid discs that will be available within the next couple of weeks, currently on a car in use and in good working order £30 for full set Only in Harrogate, North Yorkshire so you can always pop over and collect if you like.

gernster Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 sounds good to me as the upgrade options mean I might not be able to fit 13" wheels anymore! If you can include the backplates (the dust guard thingys) then its a deal. I'll have them as soon as possible as I need my kadett on the road for billing! I'll pm you my number now.

gernster Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Not sure if mantasme's brake setup is going to be available in time for me, which is a real shame, so does anyone else have a useable setup available? I need to get the car on the road in the next week or so as I aint gonna have much free time in the weeks leading up to Billing to work on it. Its the Manta B fixed caliper (two piston) setup I'm after. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I've a set of used vented discs and calipers to suit a Manta if your interested. Their off a 2.2 Carlton. Simple bolt on swap. Ideal conversion.
