Rear Caliper Advice

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

I'm getting ready to send my calipers off for refurb and have just noticed that on the reat calipers they have different hand brake arms that cable goes into is this normal or has a caliper been changed?

 

thanks

Sounds like someone may have changed them for a pair from another vehicle such as a Clio, which often have the 'curved round bar' shaped arms.

yeah but one side has one connection and the other side is different may have to look over scrapyard to see if i can get the same so pair match before i send for tefurb what other pugs may use same.

doesnt matter what the arms look like as long as the pistons are the same size, peel the dust cover off and check the diameter, the outer part against the pad is the same size on them all but the bore varies - 28-30-32 depending on donor.

I believe I have an odd surplus 30mm 205/309 caliper kicking around, so if you can tell me what side it is that you wish to change, I may be able to help.

^{You can get a pair of refurbed rear calipers from a couple of different sellers on Ebay for £75 inc P+P , no need to send yours off to them either .Seems like good value , have not bought from them yet but will be trying them soon .}

I believe the silver one is wrong and think its drivers side might not be important just want a matching pair.

nothing "wrong" there, just a different style of arm.

Pretty sure I have spare n/s caliper if you want matching.
