Looking for one spacer that sits between caliber halves on Metro 4 pot vented brakes. A complete caliber is Ok also, no matter left or right.

There was no spacer when vented discs became standard on all Metros.

 

Minispares do a spacer kit for their alloy 4 pots. could be worth a lokk if you run out of other options.

I have a spacer in mine, about 10mm thick.  They are from MG Metro Turbo. Will try to find the Minispares kit, thanks.

Out of stock!

Good catch, thanks a lot. Now just asking if he could send to Sweden.

They look like they could be alloy, but they also look a bit different to the Minispares offering.

Found another seller who sends to Sweden:https://order.ebay.c...segname=11401#/

 

They are alloy and used when you convert Metro with solid discs to vented so should be OK for me.

Thanks for help.

If I remember correctly there are two types of Metro vented callipers.  One is two halves and  the other  is three sections with a spacer in the middle.

Could be, mine are 3 sections with spacer. Think late Metros had sliding calibers with one huge piston.

When the turbo was introduced they used a spacer. Then (1885?) all Metros got vented discs, without spacers. The Rover 100/Metro, with the K Series engine, used sliding calipers.
