- I looked through a Triumph site and found an article about brake caliper conversion on TR 4 / 5 etc. They had replaced original Girling calipers with calipers from 1979 - 83 Toyota pickup 4WD. The To

- I know the REAR components on the Tiger are the same as TR's, but I am not sure about the front disc. I will however be very interested in the responses you get from this post.....a conversion like

- I made this conversion on a 240Z a few years ago. It was an improvement, especially since I had the added weight of a 350V8 in the front. Conversion on the 240Z was a simple bolt-in with the only mod

- Unfortunately the TR and Tiger calipers are not the same. Very close but not the same. They are both the same model number but the TR calipers have mounting holes that are 1/4" further apart than tho

- Thanks for clearing up this mystery. You make a good point about the piston areas. The Toyota calipers may have more area; at least the pads are quite a bit bigger. The Tiger's front brake deficienc

- Two questions: 1. Is there a rubber seal of some sort between the 2 halves of the brake calipers? 2. If so, does anyone have any experience taking them apart and reassembling them without any issues

- There's a crushable metal seal between the two sides. It is not reuseable but I've heard that a replacement is available somewhere. I'm just guessing, but it might survive the oven as is. Stu

- I read Stu's note about crushable metal seals... I hadn't heard of, or seen, metal seals. The Girling two-part calipers that used to come on Volvos had a square edged rubber O-ring between the halves
