A7 OOH Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I run a 2005 K series on an imperial chassis.Can some one inform me if the brake calipers fitted to my car (both front and rear) are specific to the Caterham or are they the same as fitted to other cars and how best to source when required.Ditto with regards to brake pads - car road use onlyt My discs are standard units.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted February 14, 2020 Member Share Posted February 14, 2020 ... and how best to source when required.I'd talk to Redline....Fronts are/ were Girling Type 14, as used on the Spitfire. Rears are/ were as used on the Sierra....Apart from upgrades there has been discussion of using Golf rears in order to save mass.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Be careful with fitting the VW rears. They have smaller diameter pistons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7 OOH Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 ThanksI can I assume the front brakes also use the spitfire disc's.Are the rears any model year Ford Sierra.So are these the ones supplied by Caterham or are there Caterham specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Standard brakes disks are the same front and rear. Try James Paddock ref 208715These fit on my '93 imperial car running standard caterham supplied calipers (front and rear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john milner Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I fitted this set at the rear:https://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/ebc-ultimax-pad-&-replacement-disc-kit-pdkr204_p31299442.htmEBC also did a discount code on their website somewhere.

john milner Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 For a front caliper I fitted this in 2016. The car is a 2003 SV:http://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/brake-caliper-rh-type-14-new-2I think I also fitted a pair of EBC discs and pads at the front but I'm not 100% certain.
