Looking for Dual piston brake calipers - AU111 Tickford XR8 series
 
We are replacing our seized dual piston front brake calipers and upgrading our rotors for our AU111 Tickford XR8 series

We have awhile back bought some rotors with these specs as below but having a hard time to find the calipers to suit.

Brand DBA
Diameter 329mm
Height 48.30mm
Thickness 28mm
Min Thickness 25
Inner Diameter 71.80
Number of holes 5
Disc Vent S


Any ideas? or should we start again with both Rotors and calipers [wanting the dual piston style]
We are stuck at finding any. Any help, suggestions welcome.

Thank you in advance :aussie:aussie

Warren found this it’s worth a look

There is also a thread somewhere on here showing the mount adaptor bracket that has been manufactured and I think they can make them to order but I can’t find it, I’ll keep looking

Those rotors are to suit the Tickford C4 style caliper.

Rebuild the calipers? Caliper kit much cheaper than buying replacements.

yes JC thanks but they are seized solid unfortunately and the pistons inside the calipers are all but welded in, we have been given a few options which we are toiling with...
when working long hours during the week, limited funds and weekends that fly past it is taking time. We are wanting a lockdown in Perth so we can get some things done LOL

Hi There,
I have a new set of OE calipers that I'm willing to sell.

Cheers
Andrew
