Disc brakes for a 1963 Giulia spider
I'm trying to find out for a friend what the best way to go for front
discs for this car. Do we use the '65 bits, or is there an aftermarket solution some of you folks might know about? The '65 bits don't look all that good to me. We put a 2 liter GTV engine in it and it's brakes are, shall we say, inadequate. Bill Smith |

Of course it need also mounting kit (callipers, discs) but works quite well. From aftermarket choice - there is some amount of solutions, but they are all quite expensive - Tarox, Outlaw or Brembo. Don't know if they have any adapters for fitting in 750 (am I right it's drum type on front?). Regards Szymon |

Working in reverse, what wheels do you intend to use, then use vented, and slotted discs as Red Dot(many alfa variants better quality than brembo). As you have existing drums, you will need to replace some of the suspension elements to support disc calipers, etc..... |
