Rear disc brakes Ital - Dolomite Sprint

19 Sep 2010, 9:55am
I am currently looking at doing a rear disc conversion on an Ital back axle (on the car) or a Dolomite Sprint axle (needs converting etc)

Has anyone here done this to an Ital?

Any suggestions please......

Thanks for that, but when I spoke to James Whiting they were no longer supplying the kit as there was no demand.

I had a Marina and Sprint axle in my garage and with a bit of work I have fitted an MGF rear caliper and disc to both. The MGF uses the same wheel pcd so all I needed to do was fabricate a caliper bracket and sort out the hydraulics and handbrake.

I have only driven the Sprint modification and I am pleased with the final result.

Incidentally my Marina based Marlin also has larger front vented discs fitted, these came from a pretty common Renault setup.
