What calipers will fit an SJ?

Post by NylonAdmiral » Mon Jun 10, 2013 8:51 pm

I need another set of calipers for my rear disc conversion and am wondering what my options are.

I'm currently running a set of Vitara calipers and had a set of samurai ones that I wanted to use that came off the axles I bought. Unfortunately these are NFG so I need some alternatives.

Does anyone know what calipers will fit an SJ?

Obviously Vitara ones do but I didn't know if something like a Jimny might too or maybe even something off another marque?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Jimny ones will fit but not 100%. I might have a set of SJ ones in the garage but iv got a funny feeling there are some bits missing off them.

Oh cool, thanks Ferris.

What bits are missing? I have pretty much everything else I need and essentially just need the actual caliper. Everything else will be replaced anyway, seal kit, bleed screw etc What sort of state are they in?

I'll dig them out tomorrow if you want. I think there are only missing the springs that hold the pads in place and probably some of the seals, cause i stripped them down but never put them back together again.

Great, thanks.

Have a look and see if you have them. If you do and you don't mind parting with them, let me know how much you'd like for them.

Cheers
