fitting bigger discs

macafee2 · 6th April 2016, 19:41

I know I can fit bigger discs to my 75 but do I need to change the callipers and the bit they bolt to?

Defin the carriers to put the Calipers out at the larger radius . not sure about the calipers themselves tho ' ?

yes, you need 190 callipers and carriers, hubs can remain, and don't forget 190 brake hoses too as well as pads

how much of the brake hoses do I need to change? do the bigger brakes make much difference?

You will of course, need bigger wheels to fit over them too

Ian, nothing in MGR ownership is simple or uncomplicated

yes as klarzy says.standard rear disc width for 75 saloon is 10 mm. vented are 19mm. so i doubt if calipers will retract and even centralise. only the tourer 75 has vented rears on the 75 range ... so must have larger calipers.
