Title: Type RZ Calipers or Spacers????
Post by: benRX7 on August 30, 2007, 05:43:34 PM
Right my home made Big Brake kit is moving along parts wise.
 
The new discs are going to be 32mm thick so does anyone know where I could get a spacer kit for my existing calipers? Or A set or RZ calipers (these are 32mm already)?

I might just take them off you then, what sort of price would you want. If thats farnham surrey, in your location bit, I could collect

Hadn\'t really thought about selling them until now so i\'ll have to think on the price. Yes thats Farnham Surrey,but the calipers are in Hereford atm.Can bring them to Farnham one weekend for you to have a look if you want? I\'m down the weekend of the 22nd of sept..

If there in good condition I don`t need to see them really, was just going to save on a bit of postage cost.
 
Let me know anyway, could part ex my calipers if you want :)

Ben,  check they are the wider callipers as not all RZ had the thicker brakes IIRC

i dont think thats correct the rz had brake upgrades from 95 and its the disk size that changed not the thickness calipers are the same think its the hub thats different to allow for the bigger disk

i saw a 95/6 rx with the bigger brakes today,    they are 312 thick so the caliper is the same shape but has a spacer in it to allow for the thicker discs.

Cheers guys sounds like its a little bit of an unkown. I`ve bought some 6 pots I got from a mate for cheap just got to see if they fit behind the wheels once I get the disc bells made. One things for sure its gonna be tight
