1976 2002 brake help

[meierfire]

we just got a 1976 bmw 2002 in our shop and im having trouble getting parts... i think it has as big brake kit in the front and i need new rotors and calipers. the calipers now and leaking and the seam of the two they are vented rotors and the parts i got when i order new are single unvented rotors and the calipers and for those also... so i have the new parts but now the spindles are to big for the rotors...

There are several Big Brake kits possible for your car. If you are not sure what you have, take some photos and post them here. People will know what have.

 

This article describes the most common Big Brake upgrade. Sorry, no photos

1977 E21 brake rotors are 1 year only vented, May be those

[steve k.]

Looks like you have e21 Rotors and Volvo Calipers

Rotors can be obtained from https://bit.ly/3pG0Ouh or https://bit.ly/38MjDoPLook for front Vented Rotors

 

Calipers can be found at Advance Auto Left: https://bit.ly/3pNXw8r Right: https://bit.ly/2KQQzV9

Or Parts Geek at  https://bit.ly/34TI3vu Look for Front Girling calipers fro Vented rotors

Is this a simple bolt on upgrade? These are low prices. Is it much of an improvement? I have a 76.

Mine are similar to OP.  Mine are on a 73 2002 with tii struts and tii front caliper is my understanding.

Let me know if that doesn't look like a tii caliper.

No idea what the rotor is from. Is vented and is Balo brand.   Ideas ?

Will read the above article.

Also you can buy a whole kit or parts from Ireland engineering to do either conversion.
