Nellie's rear brake calipers are past their sell by date... They are off a Lancia Beta
What are the options of a standard fitting caliper... ie Alfa Romeo, Fiat etc

Hi Phil,
If it helps I have an almost new or slightly used set of Lancia Beta handbrake cables you are welcome to. Just pm me and I'll post them to you.
I used my Lancia Beta Calipers to get through the IVA test and then upgraded my rear brakes to electronic hand brake calipers and HiSpec Ultralite 4 pot calipers.
Best regards, Paul
I'm using 156 for the next build Phil. But it's 5 stud. And a different carrier. And I haven't started the handbrake cabe search yet..
1500 X1/9 and Montes have larger handbrake calipers than a FWD Beta.
If you went for the above, you would need to fit X1/9 twin cables (or whatever an LB uses) and the 90° pulley system somehow. The single Monte cable isn't quite long enough.
Guy, have you got rear discs?, I've got a nearly new pair of 156 5x98mm rears doing nothing. I took them off the orange car when I went 5x108mm.
Thanks for all your suggestions so far !
I have a pair of 156 rear calipers, if anyone needs.
Looking at the whole system now !
Nellie has always had a "long" pedal.... she stops ok but the pedal is almost to the floor !
Photo's are of current set up.
Front Calipers are Lockheed AP 4 pot's of a Princess I believe
Rears are Beta

It looks like the brake servo bracket can also be used for a twin master cylinder set up.
I like the idea of using standard parts from main stream cars...
So any advice welcome... cheers Phil
