Simple question will I need carriers to fit the following

So from 2017 T30 stock brakes to T32 calipers and discs

I am aware that T32 brakes don’t naturally mean larger brakes but the ones I have brought are the larger set up

Tps do a t32 carrier at £204 each side

But for them that have done the conversion do I need them

Cheers :)

The calipers are also different so you need more than just the brackets. I brought a whole set of calipers, hoses, brackets and disc etc from a new van which was upgraded to Revo ones. I think I only paid £450. I think the disc alone are close to that.

Hi Simon,

I am smack bang in the middle of doing exactly this and the parts I am replacing are:

Carriers - ATE - New
Calipers - ATE - New
Dust shields - OEM - New
Discs - TRW - New
Pads - TRW - New

I am also getting new slider pins, bushes and spring clips, all ATE and new OEM bolts. All the prices I got them for are either discounted or one off prices so can't help there but Autodoc was surprisingly quick at getting some of the above parts to me.

I'm gutted that ATE don't do Ceramic pads for the 2E4 fronts seeing as they do them for the rears.

Looking to maybe replace the brake hoses too, seeing as I'll be there anyway and they're 9 years old.

Brake Pad & Disc change - How I Done It -

Brake Pad & Disc change - How I Done It - After a recent trip to the Dealer for Service and Cambelt job, ( we had the dealers do it as we are in a 2yrs extended warranty ) : Cambelt + Water Pump Replacement - Official guidance At the time, they advised that the rear pads were 90% worn...
www.t6forum.com www.t6forum.com

The part numbers for the dust shields / splash guards / backing plates (whatever you want to call them) are different between the small 308mm discs (16" chassis 2E3) or big 340mm discs (17" chassis 2E4), although some folk have replaced the discs small to big without changing the shields.
If you are replacing the old dust shields, you may need to factor in replacing the smalls bolts that hold them on as well.
It's sometimes the detail that is forgotten that messes up / slows down what should be a fairly easy swop over.

:thumbsup:

Good luck...

If you want/need the part numbers for these little bolts, I have them - please shout up & I'll find them out for you.

Thank you so much for your help.
 
A bump for this - I have T30 front brakes and new discs means I'm looking at cost effective ways of going to 340mm size.

There are these on fleabay:


Is this all I need?

Any cheaper/better way of doing it?

Do the smaller dust covers work or is this kit missing them?

I have been looking at these but really wanted OEM as not keen on brakes being non Genuine ...

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I assumed these are refurb OEM units? Hard to tell.

I'm pretty sure they are or not but based on the fact that people are selling used OEM kits for £500 I find it hard to believe that a £300 refurb kit is available on EBAy !
