Need some brakes

4 messages

I want to get the 2002 rolling but I don’t have a working pair of ’02 calipers.. they are all on the bench looking very sad.

 

I do however have some E21 discs and callipers.. and also a set of Volvo 240 calipers

 

I’m sure I can cobble something together out of that lot.. any ideas before I start.

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

Apparently, you need different hubs, poss ti,tii or E21 320i 4 cyl. I'm not sure why, poss the offset is different with the bigger bakes making the disc not line up with the caliper. If this is so, I'm sure an engineering works could make a stepper bracket for you, a question I would like to know the full answer to myself. Hopefully someone who's tried this will answer.

You need to get the E21 front hubs. If your front legs are tii, get 6 cyl e21, if they are 2002 carb, you will have to source early 4 cyl legs (prior to 1980) and the whole lot will bolt on except for the calipers as they are different.
