#1: Is this a problem (Caliper) Author: liam1988, Location: CornwallPosted: Sat May 30, 2015 7:52 am ---- Hi Guys, car failed MOT on binded brake on osf and was advised to get a new caliper as piston in it was the problem. So i bought a caliper on a website with a car reg look up and it recommend a caliper that looked like the first pic below, as you can see it has 1 bolt built in. the 2nd image is the pretty much i dentical to the one I have on the car and as you can see it has no built in bolt, but has holes for the bolts to go through. Can anyone tell me in the new caliper i bought will still fit? even though it was different fitting. anyone else had this?
Any help would be great
Liam

As you see all of them go with different pads, means also caliper bracket will be different, even if you can match those bolts.. So I bet that it won't fit your system.
Always wary of different brake systems fitted (bosch, lucas), and don't rely that website guesses the correct one from your reg number alone (i learned this the hard way by not studying pads/discs diagrams and measuring own ones)
