Pete Attryde Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi All, I am thinking of upgrading the front brakes on my 1996 300TDi disco from the existing non-vented type to vented ones and as such will need to change the calipers, so as per the title what models or model years were fitted with vented discs as standard so that i can source some second hand calipers. Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisstevenson Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Dont forget you'll need to upgarde to dual brake lines to each front caliper, what fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Dont forget you'll need to upgarde to dual brake lines to each front caliper, what fun! Might have missed summat here, but the Disco already has dual circuit front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Mine definately has a single line set up although all the brakets for dual line are there. What I was intending to do was use the existing single line down to the caliper and then split in rigid copper to both halves. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me check, but I think that I may have a pair of single circuit calipers for vented discs 'in stock' Might be a bit far to post them tho', they are heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ta, Would be handy if you did! I'm sure we can sort something out with the postage if you do have some. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 i 'think' 200s have dual line brakes, 300s have single lines. i know my 200 disco has dual lines & my mates 300 has single lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to buy a caliper for vented disks [RTC6776] for the disco from say Paddocks (thats what I did), then one for solid disks you'd find that the vented disk caliper has two connections for the dual pipes, RTC6776 seems to be applicable for all pre and post 1995 models up until the MK2.
