i bought a new set ofcp 5200 calipers to go on the back of my car

there are for 32 mm discs according to ap website which is correct and what i ordered

problem is they will only take a 28mm disc

with the new pads in the 32 mm disc wont fit

the groove inside the caliper is only 35mm wide so even if i ground the pads down there would only be 1.5 mm per side before it would catch and they are floating discs so i dont think this will work

any help would be great

 

get phil to knock up some 4 mm spacers for the calipers. like i did to fens

 

i would have had i bought 2nd hand calipers but not when the are new!!

 

My 5200 have fitted over the 32mm discs on the front of mine...

Maybe its the lorry the fell off LOL

 

how thick is a new brake pad then ??

mine are 15mm thick ??

 

What is the AP reference for your callipers?

 

804 / 805 S4's mike

These are for 32mm diameter 315/330 mm discs

 

Is that the reference on the invoice or the callipers themselves? It's a possibility they have sent the 806/7s by mistake (which are for 28mm), but invoiced for the correct ones?

If not, then they have been built up incorrectly.

Speak to who-ever you dealt with at AP, they WILL sort it .

 

That would be awesome service from a dodgy Lorry driver

 

sorted i think

spoke to ap and they are correct just the pads are too thick !!

only 1.5 mm either side clearance though !!

smart arse dingy said just that too !!

and everyone knows u cant get ap calipers off the back of a lorry anymore not since tvr shut down !!

 

Shocking hey
