611 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would go for a slight upgrade. Use Volvo 4 pots, they fit straight on the A and should be quite cheap to find and refurb, easy to get pads and I think the vented B series discs fit. Ran then on mine for ages, much better than original A setup. But it was a long time ago now so can't quite remember which disc to use and I think the calipers are from a 240 Volvo, but I'm sure someone on here with a better memory than me will know :-) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

611 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I ran 15" and cant remember how much clearance there was i dont think they were much different in height, but are wider so it might be close. You will need to get some measurements and compare unless someone on here has this setup. might be worth a post in the tech section? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I've got loads of Original Equipment Delco pads, a good old fashioned sticky compound that works well, doesn't eat brake disks like the modern stuff does and is no doubt ruinous to our health and the environment. Still you can't have everything http://www.markkinnon.com/2010/06/brake-pads-for-opel-manta-series-opel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
