Sorry, really boring one but just want t check before I order a seal kit. They came from some Ford front struts but not 100% on the model. Sorry the pics are rotated! Wind yer neck around a bit...  Only ID I can see is 69R in the casting. Thanks in advance . . . Rob     |

it's hard to tell but they do look like M16 calipers

The Internet, like all tools, if used improperly, can make a complete bo**cks of even the simplest jobs...

Yeah, these are spaced or certainly wider than nonvented as they had vented disks on the hubs when they came.

When I had a Capri I remember there was a common used kit of a spacer for widening Austin Princess calipers to fit vented discs. Lack of Princess items over time made them go "out of favour".

Possibly Granada. I seem to recall they use an oversized M16 type caliper without spacers.

There's 2 M16 calipers (well 4 actually) M16 non and vented and M16B non and vented the differance is pad width Seals and pistons are identical on all 4 M16 on the left M16B on the right  M16 are capri cortina and small engined granada Mk1/2(NV) 2.8i (V) M16B are p100, 2.3 granada and diesel (NV) 2.8 (vented) spacer is teh easy way to tell if vented or not, below is the easy way to tell if the larger B spec or not   |

As above - thanks to Bortaf for taking the time to post up the info - much appreciated! Also found the dimensions below for an "M16 compatible" caliper while I was looking for a bolt-on swap for my beastie, should give you something to work with  for other helpful info see the caliper in their website : www.hispecbrake.co.uk/B4M16.htmlHave fun  |
