1987 2KF rear caliper.
Hi all. Newbie with a brake question. Is the rear brake caliper on a 1987 2KF the same as a 1990 600E ??
Just ripped my newly aquired piece of flotsam apart to find severe but repairable rot in the caliper carrier, knackered pads and a very rusty piston sans seals. Looks like it's overhaul time.
I love projects.

Would help everyone if you filled out your profile (where you are) ?
Theres a kit on ebay here that may fit? if not ask the seller if he has the right one for you.
The caliper housing comes up good with a rotary wire brush, or sandblast & paint.
Mine were very grotty, few hours of work & they came up like new.
And Geoff did even better with his ones, from this.
To this,,,

How much?
Don't be wasting your hard earned dough on new calipers, a days work with a bench grinder with one of the big ass rotary wire wheels & some silver paint & good as new (a pair of them).
Geoff saw my restoration & thought he would take up the challenge, so who out there has a set more ugly than Geoff`s calipers then?
