Good morning all , how are we all this fine morning . I'm replacing the front calipers on my 89 Sport this morning due to being seized . How do i identify what calipers i have . Ive looked at the calipers themselves but cant find any stampings , but I must admit i was on the sauce last night and may be glaring me in the face . Thanks

look at the curved face on the "back" of the calipers, near the inspection hole for the pads you should find some casting marks, usually rusted to hell but should be visible when wire brushed.

Normally ATE parts TBH, but there are oddities out there for defo.

If in doubt take the old units with you whenyou exchanged, if amil ordering maybe you can mail a pic to the suplier ??
