Hi,
I need a new pair of front calipers and in calling round / web searching for prices I'm getting confused advice as to which part nos fit. Some suppliers are saying that RTC4998/99 works for a 1985 but others that they only fit 1986 onwards and that I need RTC3380/81 instead. The former are half the price of the latter so if they will work I'd rather go with those! Can anyone advise?

Hi Beau,
Should be RTC4998/9 depending on your chassis no. Have a look at our website, link below. https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/front-br...1714-c.asp Regards Paul. Paul Redding +44 (0)23 8052 2760 www.advancedfactors.co.uk Site Sponsor for Aftermarket Parts |

That's very generous of you Jim - many thanks.
I think it seems like the later type having checked the VIN. Fingers crossed they fit. 110 UW - '15 2.2 90 - '85 V8 soft-top RRC - '84 5 door, Option Pack C, 33k miles from new --- Elise S1 - '00 Millennium SE Elan +2 - '68 kit built by my dad Panda 4x4 - '87 in Italy |

Fairly certain that all front calipers are interchangeable. The main differences (ignoring the vented/non vented ones) are the locations of the pipe union and bleed nipples and the type of brake pads used.
