I'm talking about caliper on the left - you are talking about one on the right.
I want to know which 60mm piston caliper can be put there insteat of 57mm one.

In this drawing:

detail labeled 1 is my interest. I've checked Calibras 57mm piston caliper - there isn't much material to machine off to make 60mm piston fit.

Yesterday evening checked again Seinsa and EBC catalogs... no clear answer... looks like I will need to take Omegas Caliper and go to junkyard and try all the calipers I can find... should start with bmw's... they have 60mm piston almost everywhere.

rear pistons are already done - 2x33 -> omegas 2x40mm.
and not having electronic brake force "divider" (EBD - front/rear balance) isnt helping either.

balancing issues will be addressed later "along the way".

but at the moment - 62mm caliper which fits omegas knuckles mounting holes, please.

Good day!

First - I'm looking into options to enhance brakes on mighty Calibra. If you look into formulas/calculations of brake torque - one of components is piston size.
Carltons/Omegas are lucky because of their 296mm size brake discs and brake calipers with 57mm piston.but... on Omega forum in Russia was interesting information - that somebody had brake caliper with 62mm piston which can be fitted with same brake pads as 57mm caliper and fits plug'n'play on original mounting holes on knuckle.

So - question is - anybody of you know from what opels these calipers might be? Monterey, frontera?

TIA.

p.s. since I'm quite new here - apologies if I posted in wrong part of forum

pressure regulator - just go to nearest "shrot" and look for audis/vw/bmw. they usually have 4.0bar fuel pressure regulator. but - be prepared for weakest fuel line soon to give up
at least - that is my experience on my V6 Calibra.
p.s. have you considered dragracing too?
