Hi All,

A while ago I bought a brake caliper from an autojumble described as 
new, old stock for a spitfire.  It looked like a spitfire caliper and 
it had Type 14 written on it so I thought it OK. When I tried to fit 
it I found that the bolt centres were in the right place, so it could 
be bolted on, but it sits slightly too far into the wheel, i.e. it the 
pads are too close to the centre of the disk and the caliper touches 
the rim of the disk. In all other respects it looks like a spit 
caliper; same pads etc. However it does have "Type 14 L Mk II" on it.
Has anyone any idea what its off?

Many thanks,

Jonathan      Spit. 1500
