Default AP 4 pots from 4x4 on to 2wd

I currently have AP CP5000's on my car with 330x28mm rotors.

One caliper is fucked due to trying to remove snapped bleed nipples and cracking the caliper

Anyway, would there be any difference from AP 4 pots from an esc cossie? Only thing i can see is that the brackets would be different? Would the braided hoses be different too?

Unfortunately i dont know the model of these calipers yet.Surely whatever they are they can be made to fit?

as far as im aware the calipers are and discs are all the same

and its onlt the brackets and bells that are different

if you could get the same calipers you have then it should just be a case of swapping the calipers over

i dont think there going to design the same caliper with different mountings when they could just change the brackets

cheers for that mate. Calipers are different though. Mine cp 5000 the others are cp5200

I have just spoken to Mike R though who has given me valuable info. 4x4 bracket uses M10 nuts and 2wd uses M12. Hopefully i can machine out the 4x4 brackets to fit and thats that. Worst case scenario is buying new brackets.

Fella

Looking at the measurements on the AP racing site you will need to either mod the brackets that come with them or get new ones sorted....

Cheers for all the help Lee

Hopefully it wont be too much of a twat to sort brackets out without buying new babies.

What would they be made of? Just wonder if i could get something made up my way.

I don't think you should buy these other brakes. Sound's like too much hassle mate



Then I can buy them!
