Guys,

My left rear brake caliper sliding pin has seized and is now broken inside the caliper bracket. I need to know what other T44's have the same caliper brackets as the 20V or find someone with a 20V to get the caliper bracket. If anyone can let me know which cars i can get the bracket from that would be awesome. There are a bunch of FWD type44's in a local junkyard and I would like some confirmation that this bracket is the same before i pull it off. I know the hydraulics are not the same, but wondering about the bracket only.

Thanks,
Dave

The 3B rear brake caliper carrier is the same for other avants. In other words, you can use a 5000/200 non-20-valve AVANT carrier. Or one off a V8. The part # is b447615425B.

Kneale, you rock. Quick question, is it the same on all avants or only quattro avants? I am pretty sure there are 5000 avants that are not quattro.

ETKA does not distinguish between Q and non-Q avants, just between sedans and avants, so my GUESS is that any avant bracket would work. I'd try Chris Semple at www.force5auto.com
