> The new dual-circuit braking system conversion kit for your Fiat 500 or Fiat 126!

Today we report about the new dual-circuit braking system conversion kit for your Fiat 500 or Fiat 126, which makes it possible to convert your Fiat 500 or Fiat 126 from a single-circuit braking system to a dual-circuit braking system, without the need of extensive car body works like a blanking of the trunk dish sheet.

The dual-circuit braking system

Already in the late 1960s the dual-circuit braking system began to replace the single-circuit braking system in vehicle manufacturing.
The advantage of the dual-circuit braking system lies, as the name is already telling, in the two independent braking circuits. If one of the two circuits fails, the other one still can provide 50 % of the braking power and the car can be braked securely.

The Fiat 500 and the dual-circuit braking system

Despite the enormous increasing of security with the installation of a dual-circuit braking system, Fiat only installed single-circuit systems in the 500 until the last Fiat 500 R was built in 1975 and in the 1. and 2. series of the Fiat 126.

To increase the security of their Fiat 500 or Fiat 126, many Fiat 500 or Fiat 126 owner's want to install a dual-circuit braking system into their car. But it's not that easy.

The main brake cylinder for the dual-circuit braking system, which was built into the later Fiat 126, doesn't fit between the main brake cylinder flange and the trunk dish of the 500 or 126.
To solve this problem you'd have to cut out a piece of the trunk dish sheet or massively planish it, which is hard for most of Fiat 500 or Fiat 126 owner's.

This problem is solved by the conversion kit!

For those who don't like to modify the car body, there now ist the dual-circuit braking system conversion kit. It is easily fitted to the common bolts of the fixing of the main brake cylinder by the provided adapter and diverts the force of the brake pedal to the now cross to driving direction installed main brake cylinder. Now the empty space behind the trunk dish is used without the need of extensive body works.

The dual-circuit braking system conversion kit is now available at our online shop with the article number 23469 and provides the main brake cylinder, the adapter and the link. 

Caution: For fully conversion you need a dual-circuit brake fluid tank: C08025 or C08070
