A couple of years later I replaced the Calipers and the master cylinders with the Brembo Serie Oro (fitted on the 916) and they were a straight swap, except for a difference in the piston size, the brackets and fitting was absolutely the same as in the old original black brembo calipers..
If you have those old black calipers kicking about in the garage still, I'd be glad to take them off your hands and press them back into service.

Hmm

Having just talked to the guy who has my engine - who also used to work for the UK importer he thinsk the disc size was changed by 20mm on the 907 during its production. So did it start at 280mm or 300 and go up 20 ?

280mm discs were only on 16" wheels. The 907ie started with 300 and went to 320.
He`s referring to diameter not radius.
