Ive got a line on some calipers, and wondering if anyone can ID them.
Eric? Any idea on what they are worth? They are missing your standard hardware, but were rebuilt and coated. Attached image(s)

Looking at the mounting holes in relation to the piston size it looks like there is one left and one right. I they they just have the tubes and bleeders installed wrong.

QUOTE(Andyrew @ Aug 15 2013, 06:46 AM)  they just have the tubes and bleeders installed wrong. Essentially that was what I was pointing out, although without measurements (pad size, piston diameters, etc...) from each caliper you don't know for sure if they match each other. I have a 'pair' of Ferrari (F40) calipers that turned out to be 1 front caliper and 1 rear. I also had to swap, side to side, a pair of Brembo calipers that the shop before me had installed wrong and I had to move the bleeders and cross over tubes. Would have been easy except the flair nuts on the cross over tubes had been epoxied in. Jim |
