Guest WALFY Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Do RRC calipers and vented discs fit an early 90 axle? Is it a nut and bolt job or something more complex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm 95% sure they do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Cheers Jamie. Will try your lead out at the weekend and get it back to you. Hopefully it'll prove that my lead is duff. Fingers crossed. Otherwise it's a bit out of my league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Just had a long chat with someone who has more knowledge than me about this. He mentioned something about the stub axle being different. So what looked like an easy job now might be a little trickier. So to that end does anyone know of companys' that refurb calipers cheaply. And stainless pistons. My calipers are in a poor state and have a couple of siezed pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 There's not much in a brake caliper apart from the pistons and seals, I'd have a go yourself, it's not rocket science and by the time you've bought the bits and paid someone for the labour you could've bought a new caliper.

Guest WALFY Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm quite happy to rebuild but it's the actual state of the caliper itself. Needs shotblasting and then treating so the price then grows. Probably just as cheap to get recon calipers. Plus to try and organise all this work will take time and a lot of running around. And where I am there isn't a lot of that type of small companys that do that work that I've found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Stainless pistons cost almost as much as a whole new caliper - because of this i simle replaced the ones on my TD5 for new ones rather than rebuild them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Walfy - I have to refurb some 110V8 calipers shortly. If you don't have the time to do yours, I can do them at the same time. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
