Graham Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Picked up a pair of type 16 Calipers the other day both marked 16p but they were fitted with the dust seals fitted with the metal retaining rings so bought a service kit as appropriate. However on getting them stripped one Caliper has a ridge around the cylinder bore to accept the retaining ring the othe Caliper is totally flat ? Have I in fact got a 16p and a 16pb ? The Pistons fitted are all the wide grove type as appropriate for the retaining ring type dust seals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waldi Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi Graham, I think the Moss catalog and probably their web site show the differences. Regards, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yes I think you have two different ones an early and a later one. I have a pair like that here too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve concluded I’ve one of each Calliper rebuilt using the latter pistons, as I’m not sure if I’m going to keep the car and rebuild it or sell it on I’ve fitted new piston seals and re fitted the callipers. appreciate wouldn’t be what you want for a car on the road but this car is quite a few £’s from being put back on the road I just need to be able to move it when needed.

Andy Moltu Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 One is earlier than the other and the dust seal is different - the earlier ones used a seal that looks more like bellows. Unless the later one is a much later one with metric threads they are interchangeable as the mounting and pipework are the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
