[QUOTE="fallingoffalot, post: 625816, member: 28771"] So it turns out that the lip that holds the boot on the one that doesn't fit is ~70mm, the internal diameter of the boot is ~63MM!! WTF! After searching about on the net the only conclusion I can make is that this caliper has been refurbished/rebuilt from 2 slightly different ones. Bigg Red have been extremely helpful and, after I described my issue, asked me to send photos and they're going to try and find a boot that will fit. Great service from these guys, their rebuild kits are cheaper than the usual VW suppliers and they include shiny new pistons, the others don't seem to. [/QUOTE]
