Those are just standard 2WD parts, nothing special about those.

Up to '92 they were juast using german parts anyway weren't they?
Not too hot on my SA nerd facts, but I always had it in my head that the big window busses had the bigger brakes, different dash etc?
I have seen really early SA busses, some have had the big fuel tank, some not.

Joe's is a big window 2.5, but on an H plate. My small window "Microbru" is also on an H and it's on ATE twin-pistons and 13mm cross-drilled discs!
I assumed that all big-windows had vents, but Transporscher says it was only the 2.6's...which means £££ from Bussmeide or Winkler if I can't find something similar to modify, like a 24mm Merc disc with the 66 bore and right offset that could be turned down.

Are you forgetting that I have a full SA Brake kit here with your name on it like you asked?

Really sorry Paddy - if someone's trying to press hard cash in your hand for them then take it.

2.5 vans didnt have vented discs from the factory neither did the 1.8.
These brakes only came in on the 2.6 then the 2.3
