Well that'd be a better caliper to use then. Wonder how easy they are to find.
Do they just use a Piazza disc? All you would need to buy then for the conversion would be the Piazza disc and you can buy them new.
yeah if my memory serves me, the kits were just piazza disks, gemini wheel bearings and volvo callipers, now I just gotta find out which damn volvo their from. prolly the square ones that cut you off in traffic every damn day lol. thanks guys, if were all lucky I won't be needing your stubs after all

Id say they are just the Rodeo ones drilled differently. Id also say that the calipers are the same part of close to it. Id have to check, i havent as yet because i was planning ot do so when i did the front end in my Piazza.
I havent even compared the sizes in the manuals yet.
The Volvo calipers you would be looking for would be the 240 or 260 series i would imagine.
So are you saying the Piazza disc will bolt up to the Gemini hub????
apparently they will according to an article I read back when I was like 17.
could be wrong though. anyone got any old bits and pieces (gemini stub, hub, old gem wheel bearing and a spare piazza disk) lying around wanna have a quick fiddle just to see how they go together?

I know the stubs are larger on the piazza but maybe they use thinner rollers in the bearings than the gemini which would explain the disks being able to fit the gem stubs.
Hang on, the discs dont just go on the stub axles. They bolt to the rear of the hubs. You will still need Piazza hubs to put the discs on unless the Piazza discs will bolt up to the back of the Gemini hub.
Yeah the Gemini hub looks exactly the same as a Piazza one.. The disc attaches the same way.
Since my Piazza is apart I can get you the PCD of teh bolts I assume that's 4x100, and the offset of the disc mounting face to the wheel mounting face and whatever other measurements you might need.
