Which Brake Pads Fit Which Calipers?

Post by NylonAdmiral » Thu Jul 04, 2013 11:58 am

I have some Samurai calipers, some Vitara calipers and some SJ calipers.

The brake pads from the Vitara calipers and the Samurai calipers look identical, however I have no pads for the SJ calipers.

I'm using the SJ and the Vitara calipers, does anyone know if the pads from the Samurai (which look identical to the Vitara ones) will fit the SJ calipers?

I realise this sounds like one of those stupid school exam questions but I have one day left to get everything back together for offroading this weekend and I really don't want to have to try and get some new pads overnight!

Thanks

Crap, I've just realised the Vitara and Samurai calipers are Girling but the SJ's are Aisin. I think that means I've got to try and get some pads from somewhere?
