mikca01 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 spoke to the guy doing the calipers when i finished work. i think from what he said its the pads that dont fit. old calipers were back on so couldnt have a look to see if they could be ground down to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggy Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Pretty sure you would need to use GT pads with GT carriers...you won't be able to use the twin pot pads.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikca01 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 ah that could be the prob then. he had the pads that came with the calipers. he did say my calipers were. f**ked. i think is the technical term he used was. no seals and badly worn pins. going to need carriers either way.
