I guess ill have to find the part numbers to suit these calipers.... are vented rotors worth looking into for these? or just solids with bendix general ct pads Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88954-what-calipers-are-these/#findComment-1492045 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full flush n bleed with good fluid also! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88954-what-calipers-are-these/#findComment-1492152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBA 2107S looks like it might be the go and just regular bendix gct Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88954-what-calipers-are-these/#findComment-1492280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was buying some 325mm calipers that had come off a Craig Lowndes ute but double checked with some photos just before handing over the money. Turned out that they were standard calipers, painted the same way as yours.Photo of the standard caliper - you can see the two indents instead of the one centre one: Edited 14/08/14 05:15 AM by PhilMeUp 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88954-what-calipers-are-these/#findComment-1492484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
