4 pot calipers

The calipers bolt on fine but you either need to use the S14 bolts or have the S12 ones shortened. Then you need to make Two 4mm Pads spacers for either side due to the thinner S12 discs. I used some Ali which were cut and shaped be an exact copy of the back of the Pads. If you do this they will be held in place by the Two pins which hold the pads in place. Then I used some S12 Earls hoses which bolt on but you could use S12 Rubber hoses with some banjo bolts.

can s14 disks be used ? i know they would have to be re drilled
or could s13 disks be used ?

do you have any pics of the hoses ?

are you sure those are 4mm each, as they look only 2 mm each, just haw they look mate.

They need to be 4mm.

The S12 discs are 22mm thick, the S14 ones 30mm thick

Shaun the pic of the caliper hasn't got the pad spacers fitted but it has got the original shims fitted.

Northener, just an idea but would you be able to make up some spacers for me if i buy some s14 calipers?

(sorry to drag up an old thread)

Could do but there not much involved in doing it. I just got some 4mm ali cut locally. Use the Pad shim as a template and draw round it and then cut it and file it down, Job done. Suppose I could make a load of them but ATM its too cold and its the time factor. I might have some 4mm ali left I'll have a look and see !
