Brake caliper....?
Has anyone got any idea what this brake caliper comes from? It’s fitted to Mini front hubs which are fitted to the rear with a handbrake - same as a Coupe. I’ve searched for some time but can’t work it out!

Re: Brake caliper....?
Looks very similar to some Nissan calipers i bought, but ended up fitting Toyota 1.6 Corolla fwd calipers back and front with hydraulic hand brake I can take a picture of the calipers at weekend for you to compare. John

Re: Brake caliper....?
Thank you John. I’d assumed they were Austin/Rover (possibly 200) as fitted to my old Libra, but been through all i can find online & can’t match them!

Re: Brake caliper....?
They’re fitted to an NCF Blitz, if that gives any more clues!

Thank you again Ken. Had seen Muddybuggies on my searches, but not actually been on there yet. Only had the blitz for a week!

Re: Brake caliper....?
Think I’ve sussed it - with Ken’s help. Found on muddybuggies that others have used golf gti or sierra cosworth. Think I’ve got sierra cosworth ones. Cheers guys

Re: Brake caliper....?
I think there was a number stamped on them, but they’re in rather rough condition & I couldn’t read it. I’ve given them a good clean up & painted them. Ordered a set of Sierra cosworth pads so will find out for definite when i get them.

Re: Brake caliper....?
I fitted Metro "Turbo" flanges to give space. Drill the mounting hold on the hubs to M10, I moved mine in a little for more pad contact. Fit a small spacer to centre the carrier on the disk.
They are fitted upside down to bleed them with a block of wood between the piston while the right way up.
I'm half way through a "How to" as photobucket broke my last one
