More Problems, More Nights without Sleeping

Hi there

I own a '92 1.6 i.e. Dedra and i'm beggining to work it out.

Last weekend i decided to remove my wheels and braking system since they were working very bad, and i discovered that (forgive my english) that the "bolts" that secure the wheel are from a different car.
Since the model is different, the place where they fit (don't know the name, can anyone help me?) is ruined. Since i have a neighbour who has a 1.1 Tipo, and i discovered that the rotors are equivalent, could you please tell me if i can fit on of those in my Dedra????

Also, i would like to know if i can fit calipers and pistons of the same car in mine, 'cause they don't make enough pressure to make the car stop (and i need to :) ).

Since it's a little bit difficult to find dedra spares (lancia dealers do not sell spares, they rip of your money)
could anyone give me some list of compatibilities with dedra and Tempra/Tipo/Alfa or others


Best Regards

Hi there

Just finished changing my wheel cube and it works fine.
I got one from a Tipo 1.1, but i had to change the suspention strut that hold the cube.

By the way George, i'm about to finish the download of the same cd you sent me, but with Lancia, Fiat and Alfa parts.
As soon as i get it, i will send you a copy.
