Are NA6 and NA8 rear brake calipers the same?

Postby aka_juffa » Thu May 03, 2012 12:22 am

Hi all,

I am of the understanding that NA6 and NA8 brake calipers are not the same...i.e. I cannot install an NA6 rear caliper on my NA8. Is this true or not?

Thanks

I just bought some na8 calipers of ebay
got em home and they are the same as what I had
The difference is in the bracket not the cylinder part
I,m just going to change the bracket so I don't need to bleed the brakes
The longer bracket spaces the caliper further out
and you need different pads
