thescrapman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I know I could get life for surfing here...http://www.mgbhive.co.uk/special_offers.htmlBut I had spotted the pair of MGB Calipers for £75 outright whilst looking for a spitfire servo (£82-odd compared to £130 from Triumph specialists for the servo)Not much more than a single 2000 caliper, and no exchange.A bargain I think!!!CheeersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogothdon Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Excuse my ignorance, so are MGB and Triumph 2000 calipers one and the same, or is there more to it.... :)Regards,Donald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 They use the same seals, and appear to have the same p/n.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB_Harvey Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think MGB callipers only fit MK1 2OOOs with the .350" Disc....So be careful before buying ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Is that the thinner or fatter disc??The seals are certainly the same, but confirmation on the caliper would be great.I started with something that may not have been correctly identified to me, and Chinese whispers ensures that what emerges at the other end may not be totally correct.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thats the thinner disc (.3500")as per 2OOO up to approx late 68 models ...late MK1 and all MK2s use .500" discs as does MK1PIs..pistons/seal kits all like MGB/Rootes models but cut outs in callipers vary.
