TR3 - Early TR6, around CC30000 use the same Girling 16 caliper. After
that, the TR6 has the 16P and very late TR6's have the 16PB. The pistons
on the 16 have a thin lip for the weather seal, and are not interchangable
with the later type. The designation MP has metric threads for the brake
lines.

Chuck R. asks $45 for the core on these puppies. Figure half that from 
the other sources.

100 bucks from TRF, I think apple gets $45 plus the cost of the new 
pistons, so it comes out to around $100 per caliper.
