NO PRINCESS TIPPY TOES HERE
Jun 20th
Four-piston ‘Princess’ calipers were commonly fitted as an upgrade to many Fords – and therefore – thousands of kitcars used the M16 caliper as it conveniently had the same mounting bolt pattern. These Leyland calipers have become difficult to find as the Princess and Ambassador donor cars are rare beasts these days.
Burton Power is now able to offer a faithful reproduction of the ‘Princess’ caliper for those who prefer a period modification. The new calipers are now supplied with a spacer kit that allows them to be used with vented discs.
The calipers can be ordered as part number CAL4POTV and retail at More >
