Brake calipers?

[Grizzly]

Just a quicky. Are the rear calipers on the N/A the same as the t2?

I don\'t know if the N/a\'s had vented rear disks?

Cheers.

They are the same.

Cool, I seem to be getting through them? I have fitted two sets (to diffrent cars) recently.

The seals perish. seems its common. I have fitted a overhaul kit before now but it cost just as much as good caliper?

You can fit FD calipers to the front, but the rears just seem prone to self destruct.  I end up doing a recon all around every year for piece of mind.

While on the subject of brakes anyone recommend a good set of pads for fc?

Hawks Pads.. See Mr Marks (g11ary)

Aren\'t Fd Calipers the wrong way around? Leading instead of Trailing or the other way around? but the Bleeders are on the wrong side? so they don\'t get all the air out? air will rise up to the top of the caliper and all that.

I fitted them, they are exactly the same but dont seize

[Grizzly]

I stand corrected

While on the subject would an FD rear caliper fit a T2?

[Grizzly]

Well the rears don\'t fit.

The calipers are fitted to the back of the disk on an FD and the FT on a T2 so the first thing that hits you is the hand brake lever is in the wrong place. Then the caliper carrier would need to be machined down (as the fixing is wider and catches the disk).

I did think i could use the t2 carrier with the Fd caliper but the sliders are diffrent too so i have thought about it and decided even with some messing about the FD rears wont fit...
