1987 2KF rear caliper.

[Martin H]

Hi all. Newbie with a brake question. Is the rear brake caliper on a 1987 2KF the same as a 1990 600E ??

Just ripped my newly aquired piece of flotsam apart to find severe but repairable rot in the caliper carrier, knackered pads and a very rusty piston sans seals. Looks like it's overhaul time.

I love projects.

So no one knows?

I have no idea...

Tho, if you could post some pictures of yours we just might figure it out..

According to Boat.net the caliper for XT 1990 - 1995 is 3TB 2580 00 00.

Available new genuine $195.30.
Piston and seals appear to be the same as 2KF.

2KF caliper is listed as 2KF 2581 50

Would help everyone if you filled out your profile (where you are) ?

Theres a kit on ebay here that may fit? if not ask the seller if he has the right one for you.

The caliper housing comes up good with a rotary wire brush, or sandblast & paint.

Mine were very grotty, few hours of work & they came up like new.





And Geoff did even better with his ones, from this.

How much?

Don't be wasting your hard earned dough on new calipers, a days work with a bench grinder with one of the big ass rotary wire wheels & some silver paint & good as new (a pair of them).

Geoff saw my restoration & thought he would take up the challenge, so who out there has a set more ugly than Geoff`s calipers then?
