Mankee Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I've got the non-handbraked 2-pot Ultralites. Sierra rear fitment, slapped straight on, but I did change the solid brake lines to braided, as the inlets are in a slightly different orientation to the standard Sierra rear caliper.

lotusdave Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 did you have problems bleeding them as their can be an issue as they are designed to bolt at the bottom ,not on the top as for caterham,,dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi Dave. No problems at all. You can use similar techniques when people bleed the standard Sierra rear calipers as fitted to a Caterham. I just raise the rear of the car as high as possible and use a Eezibleed pressure bleeder type thing. You could also unbolt the caliper partially or completely and swing it upwards so that the bleed nipples are much higher than normal. I didn't find the need to do that though. Just make sure you jam something between the pads so that you don't push the pistons out too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
