Brake Caliper Interchangeability
« on: February 21, 2009, 05:01:14 AM »
  Is there any options regarding the replacement of a 750 k3 Caliper with other years of caliper?
I heard somewhere that the left side of a dual setup will work. Are there any F model swaps?

I'm stuck with a bad caliper now and need to get this going with out all those "Sandcast" parts on E-bay.

I have a 75 f caliper bolted to a k3. You have to use the mounting bracket too.  I think many will interchange but you have to be careful about the thick and thin brackets, some years brackets are different but many calipers are the same.

+1 on the thick vs. thin I have a dual disc thread that is on hold because I have a 76k and earlier thinner bracket type with finned caliper and the side I got for the right side came off of a 77k (left side originally) and its the thick type bracket with smooth type caliper.
