brake help

[karlj]

Ok so I have 3 sets of brake callipers
standard k11 (top)
almera 1.4 22v (middle)
100nx 1.6 26b (bottom)

Which would be better to use? I've measured the bodies of the brakes and the k11 ones are bigger??

you need to measure the piston dia really karl, and the disc dia (ie, the distance from the boltholes to the outer running clearance for the disc)

Ahh ok going to have to find my tape measure, need to get an almera brake aswell

Well I've measured the pistons and both the 100nx and micra have the same size approx 49mm but the nx takes a larger thickness disc, the almera has a piston of approx 55mm but shares the same disc as the nx.

Tried the nx pad carrier on the almera bodies and they fit so no need for me to buy another set of pads and discs
