Modified brake caliper
Modified brake caliper
A modified brake caliper has been fitted to the rear axle since 10/92.
   
The external distinguishing feature of this brake caliper is the modified, bolted retaining point -A- for the handbrake cable - previously cast directly onto the brake caliper housing.
  Note
t  The new brake caliper includes a modified handbrake parking facility, which improves the hydraulic/mechanical efficiency of the rear brakes. This results in the following:
t  Mixed installation (of the old and new version) is not permissible.
t  Installation in vehicles prior to 10/92 is not possible
