I picked up an offside caliper yesterday, they only had the one, I also had a nearside caliper arrive from eBay.

They are both classed as Punto GT rear calipers, but seem different! In particular, the handbrake mechanisms are in a totally different place.

Are these both GT calipers? I know the fronts changed between 94-97 and 97-99 but thought the rears were the same.

Also the eBay caliper never came with a slide! Is that typical practice as its no use without because these are for a rear disc conversion for my seicento.

Any advice or help on them??

Well, after a bit more research, the calipers changed the same time the fronts changed on the gt.

The one shown on the left was the 94-97 caliper and takes this pad;

The one on the right is the 97-99 caliper and takes this pad;

Therefore I need to locate another 97-99 caliper :( and ditch the 94-97 caliper...waste of money (n)
