Anyone come across this before ??

Rear caliper The carrier is not correct as you can see .
There is no way the std pads will fit .With one pad in on the piston side the gap remaining for the other is 11mm ......the pad is 18mm thick .
The old pads that came out are Lucas GDB313 which is the correct pad but
are normal thickness when new .I reckon they must have been shaved down to make them fit

Are the discs correct? Are they too thick maybe? The carrier does look strange, how weird! Is this the reasong for the rear calipers per chance ?

Please
Yes mate,all correct ...
I bet it just looks that way to you 'cause you've never seen new disks
Here's a pick of the 'proper' brackets off the breaker .I'm going to swap them Now I have a pair of useless pistons .....need to source the brackets

That'll be why then!

New discs, smiscs! Not looking forward to getting my wallet open for new 610 discs No Renault 25 £20 ebay jobbies available for that I'm afraid....

Just get some Spider discs then .........

Just get some Spider discs then .........

already available..... in 2 piece dirlled, grooved or combi of both in original 300 mm size or big full race uber brakes..... contact the Alpine Pimp for details

That's most likely a carrier for solid front/rear disks in other fitments.

I have an early car, veary early, let me know what you want measured, in a picture, and I can let you know my size.

The shiny area where the pads locate .The wrong one is only about 50mm long ,correct is about 60 mm
All sorted now anyways


So I've got on with something else ...testing new Christmas stock for www.funkydorypartybags.co.uk

Lee, What is the diameter of the brake pistons, Front and Rear, incase they are different?

Are you a paid member ?

Yes, so dont tell me the answer is 42.

54 front
50 rear

I think

It might be 52 front .....it's a bit bigger anyways
