Rear calliper puzzle

[RoccoRunner]

I've just been replacing the rear callipers, not a fun job the first time around, finding tools to fit in the space etc. Anyway one calliper has battled me all the way from discovering the refurbisher hadn't cleaned any of the threads for bolts or the pivot end cap nut and now when I've tried to connect the handbrake found the quadrant is the wrong shape, at least compared to my old one. Not sure how I didn't notice it before when mocking it all up on the bench to test fit the hydraulic lines and bleed screw. (Last photo is of the callipers as received back from the refurbisher, work done 10 years ago and sat on the shelf just in case)

Does anyone have any idea if this should fit or is it from a Ford calliper or something else entirely?

Thanks,

It looks pretty much like the layout in the workshop manual.

Pretty sure those are right. Just worked on my calipers after swapping out my diff.

Thanks, I'll try again tomorrow when I'm less tired and confused, it just didn't match up with what I took off and the photos I have of the old callipers and linkage.

The caliper in the first pic is fitted with an early lever.

Thanks all, it seems I couldn't see what was right in front of me in the drawings as I'd been looking at my own photos of what was there before taking it apart and just seeing that it was different.


The refurbishers hadn't done a great job on this calliper and had left blast media in all the threads, this being the most obvious, so I'd jumped to the conclusion that it was something else they had done, they had a batch of girling callipers to refurb when they did this pair, I thought they may have mixed up some parts, after all they also came back with 2 bleed screws and fitted in the wrong holes.

I've had problems with blast media left on the caliper, and then coated over. A real pain to clean all the threads.

surprised when bast cleaning a simple plug was not fitted to threaded holes ? ideally running a tap down each one first to clean top any debris .dust already there. its a bit like a plasterer doing a wall and leaving plaster droppings on floor where shirting board fits causing issues ( have seen this and ridges of plaster left too -sanding down only option )
