TheGecko Occasional Poster Location: Brisbane Registered: September 2003	Re: Rear disc brake calipers (with handbrake actuation) Wed, 01 June 2005 04:15 Depends on what size disc you're trying to fit them over. I've been hunting around for handbrake type calipers to fit over AE101 front discs (I'm building a mid-engined car with a silvertop drivetrain behind the seats). I sat down with the DBA catalogue and looked for cars with rear discs about the same thickness as the Corolla fronts (22mm) and selected a few likely candidates. Then I went scrounging around the wreckers to see what the calipers actually loked like. The other suggestions above all sound valid but I'll add two more. XB-XF Falcon disc rears use a handbrake caliper over 24mm discs. There a set on eBay here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&a mp;item=4552495530. Subaru 1600, 1800DL, Brumby, and Leone (don't know about Liberty's or later) have the handbrake on the front wheels. Disc ticknesses range from 10 to 18mm. The Brumby calipers are what I ended up buying ($60/pr from wrecker) although I may end up looking for a set of Falcon ones as the Subies are pretty bulky. Hope this helps, Dominic [Report message to a moderator]
