<< Taking a survey here. For you TR4 owners, what type of brake calipers
have?
I have a choice between the split caliper type and the one piece type with
the
bridge pipe. The split calipers are apart and according to Moss, this should
not have been done because of the lack of information to rebuild them. Also,
there are O rings between the two halves does not seem to be available. Has
anyone had these sucessfully rebuilt? The easy solution would be the one
piece calipers, but wanted to find out whether getting them back together was
feasible. By the way, the PO had dismantled these, not I. I've ordered
rebuild kits and pistons since they are the same for both types. I want to
get new hoses and these are different.

The 1 piece calipers w/ the bridge pipe were the original type used on TR3's.
Changed to the split type somewhere in TR3 production, no TR4's ever came w/
these. Should work tho'. I believe the pistons and seals are all the same.
Have these on the 3A and split type on the other 2 cars.
No experience with putting the 2 halves back together, don't think I would
try. Used calipers have gotta be a dime a dozen. Rebuild with new pistons and
seals is easy.
