Not sure TBH McJam. Neutral

The caliper somehow broke/detached/fell off it's mounting point and got caught in the wheel. It then yanked the brakeline in etc...

Oh yeah, here's my 200mile old pirelli diablo, and other stuff. Sad

I got a caliper BUT the pin was cut as the allen bolt had rounded off. Want it?

Can't you just use the pin from your broken caliper?

If it's the same as a VFR rear caliper than I have one, and I'd assume it is, but i'll leave you to check first.

Phoenix: Both vfr and rvf calipers are the same as they take the same brake pads.

McJamweasel · BCF Junkie Joined: 22 Mar 2002 Karma :

Dozzie, that doesn't mean they are the same caliper. The mounting points etc. could still be different.

Cheers fire, already seen it. No point getting all that when I'll be fitting a braided line though. Smile

I've got the caliper, but the pistons are now siezed, doh! I'll clean it up tomorrow morning and see if I can free them. The bracket does look detacheable though, the bit thats broken on yours.
