21 Turbo 21 Turbo Rear Calipers

[ta5jda]

Morning all, been a while.
One of my rear calipers is leaking a little fluid, so I want to give it a rebuild.
According to brakeparts uk there are 2 types, brembo or bendix/bosch. Anyone know which i'll have on an early 1988 phase one?

Brembo are the late ph2 and 3 cars, so unless anythings been changed it'll be bendix you want

Available on ebay, this should be something like...

Rebuild kits are also available, I just did mine up with new seals.

Although these don't include the handbrake lever cover, they are also available. Or you can reuse the old ones with a cable tie as long as they are in one piece...

Excellent, thanks.

I've got a day off tomorrow so intend to whip my leaky Caliper off to investigate.

It often hinges on the condition of the piston, if it's damaged, corroded or scored badly, then just get a new caliper.
