UK Rev4 front caliper piston size

Post by MisterTwo »

98 Rev 4 brake advice needed please. Would anyone know if all UK Rev 4 standard front brake caliper pistons are twin pot 63mm? I'm ordering a piston rebuild kit from GTFOUR but they have asked if my car has 63mm pistons. Thanks.

:blink: AFAIK none of them have 63mm pistons that's enormous, are you sure you don't mean 36mm? I thought that was the standard MK2 piston size?
Mr T's part number for a seal kit is 04479-17020

Have you checked Bigg Red for piston/seal kits ;)

Thanks for the information. Just to confirm the kit in the link will fit a UK 98 Rev4?

It should BUT you need to confirm that yourself ;)
I'd give Bigg Red a ring, I've dealt with them in the past and they are very good, they will also refurbish your calipers at a very reasonable price, like new when they are done with them, worth checking out their website. :th:

You just need a kit for brake callipers with 22v stamped on them. These are on all cars turbo/na import/uk car. The only different kit is for the rev 1 cara 1989-1991. These are stamped with 16v. Big Red seals the kit and is perfect as I have used them myself and had no issues. Just make sure you get the 22v kit. Hope this helps

Just had a look on their site and they have them advertised as 63mm instead of 36mm, bit of a typo. I used big red for mine, seems it's probably the same kit but gt4 has added a mark up.
