Wanted! Turbo brakes!

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Wanted! Turbo brakes!

Post by ClioRSiTurbo » Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:47 am

I'm after front turbo calipers for my car and some vented discs if possible...

To fit to my es turbo conversion. Dont know if they'd be a straight fit or would I need anything else to fit them?

Please help :)

The turbo wheel rims are a larger diameter than the other 480 wheels such that they can fit over the brakes. Though I suspect you may not be using 480 wheels anyway :D
