Hi!
Right in my Uno (below) i have added a fair bit of weight as i have been sponsored to do an install in it for this year. However with all this weight (Its already on bump stops lol) it is only safe to consider the weight which i will need to slow down. :roll:
So enlight of this i first decided to do a Punto GT brake upgrade. (Will put pics of this up tomorrow)
This as you may know is relatively straight forward however you do need to make up 6mm spacers to fit between the caliper and hub to space the calipers away as they do not fit with the Punto GT discs. (However some people have reported not needing spacers but meh)
Anyway once this was done the brakes didn't exactly feel great and had a fair bit of travel so i decided to fit a Punto GT brake master cylinder and Servo, i originally thought i would just use the standard Uno servo with the Punto GT master cylinder, however it does not fit
Now this is relatively simple it was just a case of removing the old master cylinder and servo and bolting the Punto GT item in place.
All i need to do is work out some way of securing the brake fluid bottle and everything should be ok.
Now this is the hard bit
Once the master servo is in place (It fits through the same place as the standard Uno one) you will see this:
Bassicly from the pedal where it connects to the servo sits to far froward and in the next week or two i am going to design a solution i will post up once it is complete.
PLEASE PLEASE bear in mind that this is not a guide merely what i have personly done and if you do follow what i have done i can not be responsible for it being safe to use...
Theroticly it is ok because you are using the Punto GT brakes with the Punto GT master cylinder and servo, which should mean it brakes much better and also brakes easier, and i have also seen people using coupe Brembos on Punto GT's so this should mean you could fir them to an Uno Turbo to.
...
To be continued.
