Omega General Help / converting a solid disc rear brake caliper for a 2.6 omega
« on: 02 February 2023, 14:33:42 »
Hi
I am sure I read a post on here, about being able to convert solid disc brake calipers, to use on a 2.6 Omega with vented discs. By splitting the damage vented disc caliper and fittiing the spacer from it to the solid brake caliper. So it will work on the vented discs. If it will work is there any specific size caliper, for example off a 2.2? Also would the fact that the pistons off the solid discs are smaller, make any difference to the braking, when made up to fit on the 2.6? Also what refurb kit, would I need to get the O rings, for the spacer piece, when fitting in the solid disc caliper?
The reason why I am asking is that I am going to be doing some work on the brake system on my 2.6. When last I did some work on them, I wasn't really happy with how they looked. The bleed nipple has snapped level with the caliper on the one and it looks like a ease out, has been snapped in it.
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance for any help.
