Subject: [Fot] unidentified Brake Calipers

Hello All,=20
I decided to stay with the TR4 stock front brake calipers for my vintage =
racer, but as I took a look at the 25 year old units from when I raced =
in the 80=E2=80=99s the calipers don=E2=80=99t look like any TR =
calipers. I must have changed them. I don=E2=80=99t know what there off. =
Can anyone identify them?

I believe the TR6 calipers bolt right on to the existing set up and are =
more available. I assume they would perform as well and use the same =
size disks? Any comments. Most Vintage rules allow similar replacements.

I have attached two pictures for you to view.

Thxs. Steve & Matthew

That caliper looks like the one fitted to the TR3 and early TR3A (according
to the Moss catalog) and uses the 11" rotor and related brake pads and
hardware/plumbing. The factory may have used this old-style caliper on the
early TR4 if they were leftover stock or your car was converted back.  If
you want to run the later style caliper and pads (like the 16P), you have
to change over the caliper mounting bracket and use the smaller 10 3/4"
rotor.
