Cool t2 brake caliper help

ok ok ok this is driving me crazy.. i needed to replace the brake caliper on the passenger side because it started leaking. i pulled one off a gtu and it didnt fit the rotor with the new pads in but fit the bolt patter so i got another one and it fit the rotor with the new pads in but didnt match the bolt patter. do i have to get another claiper off another t2? if i can use one off of another 5lug please can xomebody list the year and model? thanks..

you may just have to back off the pistons to get the first one to fit. Check your FSM for instructions.

Pads are the same, but you need a caliper with the rear vented rotors. If the donor had vented rotors, should fit.

That's my guess, as all rear calipers are the same if equipped with vented rotors (86-91)

i believe all 5-lug calipers will have the same mounting postion. the difference is whether you have the 4-piston fronts with larger front discs and vented rear discs (TII, GXL, vert) or single pistons all around with the smaller front and non-vented rears.
