[QUOTE="LeeME3, post: 622194, member: 21289"] My front brake calipers are shot beyond recovery so need replacing. Of course the bus is a 1971 so the ‘one year only’ brake fit but I think she has had some kind of conversion to allow different calipers to fit. Piston size is 54mm, distance between the 2 halves is way more than 48mm and the calipers are embossed ‘VW 147’. No other markings. I’ll try and put pics up shortly. I think they may just be late bay calipers but then I’d expect to see spacing shims to line up on the disc but there aren’t any! I know she had a replacement front beam that was a US import flipped and converted for RHD so there has been a fair bit done to the front running gear in the past. Any steers most welcome! Thanks.
