Re: [T3] Brake Rebuilding Orgy!


Actually, the Type 3 calipers were only ever Type 3 calipers.  While the early
Type 4 are the same dimensions, they are not actually the same part number -
maybe the
difference is simply in the compensating pin.  I had a feeling it was mentioned
in connection with disc runout in the factory manual, but can't check at the
moment.

Looking at the drawings, the Type 4 parts book shows a caliper with centre pin,
while the Type 3 book doesn't.  Err!

I guess the thinner discs of the earlier ones were more susceptible to the
problem - the later ones are thicker (same as early Type 4 discs), and I don't
think Type 4 ones have the centre pin (maybe I'm wrong - Jens?).
