Been too quiet recently so wanted to post a few pics of some caipers I recently got from a Fiat Dino, thinking they might be the same as early Goose (i.e., iron, 3-piston Fiat Girling) units. Daryl was kind enought to send pics from his car and this confirmed that the casting numbers are the same, so at least the main caliper bodies match. Most of the small bits looked to match as well, but I couldn't tell about the anti-rattle plates (see photo #3) or the 10.0mm thick caliper spacers in photo #2. Note the bright silver plating on the freshly exposed surfaces!
I haven't removed the pistons yet but assume they will be 29-30mm tall. If that's the case, these will be rebuilt using SS pistons and a seal kit sold for early Miuras (i.e., the ones w/ solid disk only; later Miuras had slightly different 'small' piston diameters). Has anyone successfully used early Miura or Fiat Dino brake kits to rebuild early Goose rear brakes? If it works the kits are plentiful & not outrageou$
Regards to all, curious what you think? Nate S
