Which Caliper type do I have on my W123?
I was inspecting my brake pads today on my W123 and I wondered how do you know which caliper type you have when they are all rusted out? It is not strictly relevant to the pads as they both support the same type on the post 1979 cars but just for the record here is how.
The ATE caliper has the cross shaped spring to hold the pads in place, the BENDIX has the two clips and has cotter pins on the insert pins into the caliper.
