132 Front Brakes?

[Chris J]

Is there just ONE mounting bracket for a Fiat 132 front brake caliper?

I seem to be short of something? (see photo, sorry about the rust!)

Hi Chris
From memory my metal plate is lot bigger at the caliper mount than yours and bolts straight onto the caliper. Were there two sorts of brakes fitted to 132s?

There's a picture on page 198 of haynes manual that shows the front caliper mounting,

Thanks for that. I've got a feeling the bracket I've shown, has been modified, but it's strange that someone would do that and then have the brackets re-plated?

I don't have the 132 Haynes Manual.

Chris,
You have the wrong brackets !, I just happen to have a lovely pair of calipers and correct brackets. No rust. Another item I failed to sell !
any offers ?

I'll bear that in mind. Thanks.

Looks more like a Beta brake caliper and a std 132 bracket
Brakes are a big subject but do you really need to use these parts?
Ther are a number of cheap alternatives that are better

I'm pretty sure it's a 132 caliper.

Using any other brakes however cheap, would involve having a caliper mount manufactured by someone else. I don't have a mig or a milling machine.

I'm just trying to use the parts that I already have, for now at least.

I'll attach the image that Peter sent. Just for reference.
