Someone told me that you can use 21T front disc and calipers on a clio williams.

Will they fit?

Thought 21T were 5 stud?

Any help would be great

Thanks alot

you need the discs from a 21 TXI, they are the same 285mm, but 4 stud. I have a set of 21T calipers to go on mine, just need to machine up the brackets to adapt them to the hubs.

If you look in members projects, and go through the one by 'denis.dup', its all detailed in there.

A mate of mine is currently breaking a 21TXI (very rare car to find) if you need the calipers let me know and i'll ask if he still has them.

not the calipers, those are from the 21 turbo, its the TXI discs that are needed. Obviously you'd get those new.

21 turbo calipers are the same as the 19s.

on some of the early 19's the calipers actually have turbo cast into them.

just the carriers that are different.

Chris you keep saying that but the 21 turbo calipers i have are the same as the ones in denis.dup's thread, and theyre definately not the same as 16v calipers... Confused

No i never said that. 'Lying' infers intentional deceit. I was just stating the things that i know for a fact, and that they disagree with your experience, for whatever reason. Stop being so defensive all the time FFS
