I need to replace the callipers, discs and pads on my 1992 80 and I'm struggling to find anyone with the right callipers
Brake Parts International list this one which clearly states disc thickness 20mm, obviously the early 80's were fitted with discs 286mm in diameter and 25mm thick.
Euro Car Parts list these which again states it is for a disc 20mm thick. I'm pretty sure no 80's were fitted with 20mm thick discs so I thought I would get them to get a calliper in so I could visually check it. Sure enough it will not fit a 25mm disc so what are these callipers for?
Anyone know where I can get the correct calliper for my pre Aug 1992 80?
On another note, does anyone know for sure if the 15" front wheels WILL fit if the later/larger disc conversion is done?
MuckPup do you fancy a 10 mile trip so I can try my wheel on yours? I would drive down to yours but my brakes are sticking on hence the replacement.
