Front Brake Calipers

[1_eyed_jim]

Hi,

removed the front wheels today to do some pre-MOT checks and the front brake calipers are completly rotten (don't know how it passed last year!)

My question is if im replacing both calipers does it matter which type I buy? are the mountings the same across the range?

Thanks

Rob

you need the late calipers but you have to decide if you have ATE or girling calipers, there are pictures on the brickwerks site to help
single piston
Brickwerks, VW Heritage and GSF sell them... plus others

Thanks, however it seems the pictures look nothing like the calipers i have. Mine look like more crescent shape and possibly double pistoned ones?

some ones messed about with ya van then, double piston (one each side) are early!

So need to get myself the later versions for sure but which ones?? Is it just a gamble to which one will fit? Ta

[kevtherev]

no it's not a gamble
if you have early calipers then brickwerks sell them too in ATE or Girling

it'll be written on them.. girling or ATE

Nothing is wrote on the caliper that is why im asking advice. I'll have to send you a photo. Until then thanks.

Yes a photo is an excellent idea but what do you mean when you say they are 'rotten'
