Group A Rally Spec Front And Rear Brakes

You wont be able to use standard 1.6 hubs as the CV's on your shafts wont fit the 1.6 hubs. The 1.6 group A cars used uprights machined to give more negative camber ( -1.5 deg ) and they did not use a pinch bolt to secure the bottom rose joint pin, the pin being a tight fit into the upright. The hub had a spline profile to suit the 1.9 type CV's. I tried to identify the hubs, to see if they were a standard part, but couldn't identify them. I can only assume that they were 1.6 hubs specially machined to take the 1.9 type CV's. ( Bearing in mind that when the group A 1.6 cars were built, 1.9's weren't being manufactured).

The discs used were two piece, AP discs with bells with a deep offset to suit the 1.6 hubs.

Mollisk - Cheers for that information. To be FIA compliantlooks like I'm gonna have to spend £1800 on a new calipers/discs/bells set from SVP unless anyone on here has a used set-up for sale ?

Perhaps it is worth you contacting Godspeed Brakes before going down that route. Very knowledgeable and decent guys are the Godney's, as a few here will testify.
