Arrrgh - What dsm is this caliper from????

[timkovo]

Well with my ongoing project TSI, I needed to get some rear calipers, as my existing ones are fubard.

I found a set on the trader for pretty good price, and they are from Cali, so they had no rust on em (not like Ohio )

Mine is on the left, and the ones I got are on the right.

See how my brake line fitting is angled down? And the e-brake is also angled upwards?
The one on the right has the brake line fitting straight up, and the ebrake is straight as well.

What year dsm is that from? When he posted to my want ad, he said it was from a 91AWD...... Don't match mine.

Most likley it was not from an AWD but a FWD due to the diffrent chassis.. Possably..

If your existing brake lines arent too rusty you could always bend them a bit... Thats playing with fire though with a 91

Nah, not only do the brake lines not fit, the bracket for the e-brake is in the wrong spot. I am pretty sure its for a 1G FWD.... owell I guess I'll just sell these and try and get my money back and find a set of AWD rear calipers.

Thanks for the input.

i had a dipshit install that right caliper on my awd and on the way to wendys i blew a brake hose and almost tore up a geo tracker in the process.
