#1 Unknown brake calipers

Post by Gas409 » Wed Nov 06, 2024 1:53 pm

Can anyone recognise the maker of the four pot front brake calipers fitted to my S1 E type? They are not Coopercraft or Zeus. They are British made but with no maker's mark. I think that they were fitted between 2010 and 2015.
Thanks, Rob Herrick

The layout of Allen bolts with bleed screw in between are indicative of Coopercraft. Although normally silver, yours may have been powder coated black and hence no markings. Here’s a couple of images showing Coopercraft layout (vented version).

You may be able to tell by measuring the piston diameters and comparing them to known brands.
