Re: Need to know about samurai calipers
Are they actually the same caliper but different manufacturers? The Lucas-Sumimoto's look like the Girlings to me.twiss wrote:I've got the Lucas-Girling on the front and Lucas-Sumimoto on the back.... just due to availability rather than any performance reason!
Handy though as they take the same brake pads

Re: Need to know about samurai calipers
On my ones the main caliper body looks like a spanish girling, and its takes the brake pads with the spring-things attached to them, but the bits that mount onto the caliper mount are nearly the same as the japanese ones... I'll take a pic next time I have a wheel off

Re: Need to know about samurai calipers
Good to know, mate - there's another thread on here about GV callipers where that question came up yesterday, now we have an answer! Don't know if they take the same pistons, do you?
Doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.

Re: Need to know about samurai calipers
It's likely to be lucas-girling. If it's sumimoto, it's probably been pulled off of a Jimny.Josh-holden wrote:right.. iv got a 1992 Spanish samurai. to me the callipers look like the Lucas-Sumimoto calliper. is this correct? if so where could i get hold of one? what else do they fit so i can give the factor something to go off?
