Steve E 0 Posted May 9, 2016 Are all Girling P16 calipers the same? I've heard of 3.25 INCH fitting or 3.5 and I see some Triumphs use them? So would a pair of triumph ones fit a 1600E has anyone else does this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete-H 57 Posted May 9, 2016 AS far as I know these are the two types of P16 calipers Girling and ATE Type P16 Calipers the Pistons in the caliper on the left (ATE) are about 2mm bigger in Diameter.(no idea what it was from) Just Girling type the pair I have fitted. (had to have a matching pair of P16 Calipers) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatboy 0 Posted May 9, 2016 If its the same as the earlier P14 calipers ford ones had the brake pipes enter downwards from the top other P14 calipers used had brake pioes that fix in the middle if the side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dxcgnoc 3 Posted July 31, 2016 Are you sure that you aren,t confusing the P16 and M16 calipers. Remember that Mk2 calipers are imperial sizes and anything later is Metric regards Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rubberhead 4 Posted August 3, 2016 Are all Girling P16 calipers the same? I've heard of 3.25 INCH fitting or 3.5 and I see some Triumphs use them? So would a pair of triumph ones fit a 1600E has anyone else does this? Cortina 1600E and triumph vitesse mk2 use the same break pads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve E 0 Posted August 7, 2016 Cortina 1600E and triumph vitesse mk2 use the same break pads. That's right I managed to get hold of some Ferrodo Premium one for my old girl :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So would a pair of triumph ones fit a 1600E has anyone else does this? Yes, some Triumphs (TR6 etc) use Girling P16 and M16 calipers where the 2 fitting bolts are in a different position/distance, compared to the P16/M16 on a "normal" car (Ford etc). The "Triumph" type P16/M16 will not fit on a 1600E. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
