Sprinter brake caliper brackets

[r0dman]

I have some sprinter struts and calipers that I'm going to chuck on my KE70, but one of the calipers is missing it's bracket.

Does anyone know if the bracket from any other model Toyotas will work on it? The KE70 ones don't fit by any chance do they?

I believe AE71 wagons have the same struts/brakes as AE86, so could get a caliper bracket off one of those.

Unfortunately its not the AE71 wagons, its only the AE71 panel vans which have sprinter struts and brakes. And no, KE70 panel vans don't have them either, unfortunately AE71 panel vans aren't the most common things around.

Thanks fellas.. I couldn't get one easily in time so just going to leave it to next weekend. Should be able to get one within a week.

Cheers

Actually, I assume that the ADM and JDM brakes are the same? If they are different, are the caliper brackets at least the same?

[Golberg]

They are slightly different, I've got both pairs here infront of me luckily enough. Both the cast side with the piston and the other side are different, they're 6mm wider.

What exactly do you mean by calliper brackets anyway? Are you talking about the mount between the strut and the calliper or the second half the of the calliper?

The strut mount is the same between JDM and ADM, but the callipers and the rotors are different.

[r0dman]

The second half of the caliper really.. it is basically half of the caliper from how i'm looking at it but everyone calls it a bracket..

EDIT: attached crap pic (only one i have at work) of what I have..

If by caliper bracket you mean the backing plate that the caliper bolts to, then I "believe" they are the same. AFAIK know the JDM brakes bolt straight up to the ADM backing plate so I'm assuming they are the same, but cant confirm sorry.

Thanks man. I've found some complete ADM calipers for cheap enough so I'll just use them instead..

Nah, he means the caliper slides.
