.....


If you have vented rears, its VX or nothing nowdays.
If they are solid, give AllGerman a shout  ;)

I know as far as Vauxhall ...... but surely the rear calipers aren't unique? GM would surely have just picked calipers out of their parts bin  :-\



I had a nightmare situation about 12 months ago when I did mine.
I sent the details (cheers Al  :)) of to 2 companies in the hope that they could come up with a "off the shelf" solution to the pins / springs problem.
Sadly after a couple of months. both firms came back to me with the same answer ........... Nothing matching the dimensions on any catalogue or kit. The nearest one got was a pins from a old Alfa Romero so it looks like its VX only or drill the holes out and split pin them in place  >:(

Seem to remember helping a neighbour a few years back with his old Merc front brakes.
Front vented disc & long old pins. similar setup  :-\ but can`t remember the model of car now.
Something like this
