Girling type 16 callipers - differences


Recommended Posts

I am in the middle of refurbing two Type 16 callipers, one is a 16P, the other is a 16PB. I know what the differences are supposed to be, different pistons & associated seals, however, both callipers had the type 16PB pistons & seals fitted. On inspection, both callipers have the same piston apertures, the outer lip is plain and has no groove to retain the seal, I thought the type 16P had a groove here, am I right? If that groove is missing I suppose I should just rebuild both as type 16PBs, just a pity as I've already bought two 16P pistons & a seal kit.
