Hi I have a 1974 130 coupe in that dark violet colour with cream leather seats . I hardly drove it for about 7 years and the brakes are virtually gone. I am after new discs , brake booster and master cylinder ..my thinking is to replace as much as possible. Are the latter able to be reconditioned easily has anyone done it
Any advice would be helpful...by the way I live in Australia so I know shipping costs would be expensive.
Thanks John

hello john, discs; ebay europe,
master cylinder seals; superformance (uk)
booster (servo to us), maybe superformance, or have yours tested to see if ok to start with.
have you tried fiat club of australia?
have a look at the links page we have.[o:)

Hi Mr Stig!!

I didn't have any luck with Superperformance they advised that they don't do Fiat 130s. I have since located a master cylinder elsewhere ..Can you suggest anywhere else for a reconditioning kit for the brake booster.
I often hear about 130 coupes that have had aground up rebuild...but where do these people get the parts? Are they more abundant in the UK?
On one of the sites someone recommended putting a type of oil into the petrol to keep the rubber in the fuel system soft against the harsh modern petrol. Do you have an opinion about this?

Thanks
John

Hello Mate
the price I have been given for a reconditioning kit for the brake Booster was 120 Euro.(from place in Italy)
I think that that is a little excessive ...what do you think
Any ideas about other suppliers?
Thanks John

Hi Brian
Thanks for your advice. Could I please ask you exactly where the fiat 130 and the Dino brakes systems are different or are they all the same ? The rebuild kits for the mastercylinder in the superperformance catalog seem quite cheap
eg 1)are the discs calipers pads etc the same ?

Thanks for your help
John

hi john, brake discs and mastercylinder are the same, the rebuild kit is reasonable but, plus vat (20%) and postage (about £26.94), the pads shown are not the same as 130.
