603 Brakes

Thanks everone for the feedback and look forward to the Girling list.
I just thought that if the calipers were from a Jaguar then there was a greater opportunity of getting an aftermarket upgraded caliper if i need to rebuild or replace mine.

They are Jag front and Aston rear - I think

Sorry, haven't had time to scan the Girling parts lists. Will get to it asap.

In the mean time, from the list I can tell you this;

The rear caliper and handbrake assembly listed as used by Bristol are common with AC Cars, Aston Martin (that will be DB5 & DB6), Iso, Jensen & TVR.

Some of the front calipers listed as used by Bristol are common with Jensen only - LH Caliper 64032280, RH 64032281.

However, there is another front caliper used only by Bristol;
LH 64032175, RH 64032176

The parts list includes 9 different pairs of front caliper part numbers, used by a variety of car manufacturers. The internals of all the calipers are mostly the same, apart from some differences in brake pads, so I assume the main differences lie in the caliper bodies, which probably means the mounting points (bolt holes) will be different.

Just checked the Bristol parts list Resources - Bristol Cars - Owners and Enthusiasts Forum

and the 409 & 410 used the 64032175/6 front calipers, so it 's reasonable to assume that it was the 411/412 that used the 64032280/1 front calipers which were common to the Jensen (presumably Interceptor).

I have no idea what the 603 used. Anyone got a parts list for the 603?

Finally got around to scanning and uploading it. It's in the 411 resources section here (you need to be logged in to view/download the file).

NB: I don't know for sure these are what's on the 603 (see my previous comments re most likely caliper part numbers).
