Hello there,

I don't know if this will help, but you might want to take a look;

However, I would enter your reg number to make sure to get the right parts.

Remember estate calipers are bigger then hatch... not sure if fitting kits are different or not then...

Oddly, the retaining bolt is the same size....!

This bolt is not critical and is not high tensile or anything, so any M5 bolt of the right sort of length will do. I had a bad set, after taking the caliper off I had to saw the bolt off then drift out the remains with a (big!) hammer. I also had to saw on the pads in half to free it from the caliper. Surprisingly the calipers worked just fine when refitted, without rebuilding them!

Hello modxl,

I recently replaced the rear fitting kit on Gracie, but it didn't look right (even though the supplier was sure it was correct). I have since found it was for an estate car, and I now have the right kit on order from a different supplier. The kits are different. If the kit currently fitted is OK (not damaged from being on the wrong rear calipers), once I have removed it you could have it if it will help.
