The proper bolts to use on the calipers is timely for me as a brake system
rebuild is one of my winter projects. But I'm confused over the timing
switch to the metric caliper bolts. What I think I've read here is that the
TR6's with 16PB calipers got the metric bolts but that's contradictory to
what the TRF Blue Book says as follows:
16P Caliper, Imperial - up to CC29929 (early '69)
16PB Caliper, Imperial - from CC29930 and up to CC81078 (late '69 - mid '72)
M16P Caliper, Metric - after CC81078 (late '72 on)
However....if you look at the Moss and TRF catalogs, there's no mention of
the M16P caliper and they've labeled the 16PB as Metric, yet the commission
numbers match the Blue Book. Is the TRF Blue Book wrong? Or am I just
interpreting this wrong?
My '76, CF38503 has calipers stamped 16PB which would be correct per the
catalogs but not the Blue Book.
Thanks
