As far as I know the brakes on all the SA 5 cylinder T3's are the same.

My 92 2.5 had normal non-vented brakes same as any European van.

All 1990-1994 2.5 k-jet buses had solid discs as per 2.1 wbx.
1995 was first year for vents, on 2.6 only.

Apologies to slobbo for the slight thread derailment! Time we saw some pics of the "280mm" SA calipers from all sides, so we can have a go at identifying them

Well new ones are on. And old ones are to be refurbished. If anyone wants a set of refurbished SA calipers and new 280mm discs and pads let me know. I am guessing they may be only good for 16" wheels.

I will take some detailed pictures of the calipers when I get a chance.

Here you go.

They look remarkably similar to mine (the actual caliper might even be the same) but must have the mounting holes in the pad carrier placed differently for the 280 disc.

My set now fitted. Lovely. The set that came off will be for sale once I blast and refurbish the calipers. Will supply with new discs and pads.
