jackb_ms Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi How can I find out which front brake I have? What is the difference between the standard system and the "big" brake system? The car was buit in 96-97 Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Edited by - jackb_ms on 11 Apr 2007 13:45:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Green Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Count the nipples ? 1 = standard, 2 = big. Or remove the pads and count the pistons, or "pots" hence 4-pots for the big brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 *thumbup* I Have 2 nipples The disk, are they specific to caterham? Or available else where? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Edited by - jackb_ms on 11 Apr 2007 13:55:57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The vented big brake disks are only available through CC and cost, IIRC in the region of £250 a pair. This assumes you have the CC big brake kit and not an after market one. Steve. West Sussex AO Not forgetting Percy the Polar Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 The calipers have 2 nipples, and a nice 21 😬 logo on them. Is there a picture of the disk somewhere? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
