406 2.2 calipers question

[dsh85]

hello all.

recently sold a set of what i beliveed to be 306 gti calipers which i got from a decent lad who i know well enough

sold the items on ebay and on the day of recieving im getting a complaint claiming there from a 406 2.2 v6

im wondering if this is genuine really, how would he be able to tell so quickly is there a way? or could it be possibly the fact he hasnt took it account that slight grinding is required

any help appreciated.

cheers peeps

can't have been from a 2.2 v6! that does not exist!


however the 406 does use calipers that look very similar to 306 gti6 items, but they use a wider disc and a different radius carrier, so they wont fit anything but a 405 or 406.

there is a slight visual difference that would confirm that they are 406 items, do you have a picture?

also bit of an update hes fitting these to a 1.9 306. apparently there not lining up with the hub and claiming there not going on with the 283mm discs either

bit small that, can't make anything out.

edit, the wonders of google image.

they have a knobble by the brake hose, therefore are 406 calipers.

The mounting holes are different on the 406 calipers
