Different from the one in Barry's pic. Bolt holes much further apart.

If we find a Merc model with a smaller diameter strut, that may get us closer.

You have never priced up a new carrier from BMW have you

(Matt replied to!) ....I suspect the carriers are cast or even forged steel, not iron - but I could be wrong.

I've been trying to work out which Merc model the alpina calipers came off for a while. Worth an update to the wiki brake article methinks.

Keep me posted on this. If you guys work out what Merc all these bits come from, I'll write up an extra for the Brake Upgrades and Alpina pages.

I'm perfectly happing fragging Mercs to upgrade E30s

/\ all the info is here already, its also been in my resto thread for the past 6 years.








Found the pics, as said how can you remake this caliper carrier?! i don't think you can myself but i may be wrong, note the merc logo in the last pic! The originals didn't have the merc logo on them!

But Simon, do you know for a fact that the brake saddle/bracket is custom?

I doubt very much it is.

I will have a rummage up Jans passage as he has broke loads of Mercs and being even sadder than me, he will still have most of them shelved.

[keri-WMS]

Is it just me......or does it appear that Simon has gold-plated his carrier?
