WANTED 320mm ATE Front Calipers

[TimL]

Looking for a set of 320mm ATE brake calipers that were standard on 1994 cars. Ideally in great condition, but willing to consider units that need some work.

For reference, @gsxr sold some a while ago and the front units are what I’m looking for.

SOLD - Euro E500 caliper set (Ate 320mm front, 300mm rear) | Parts for Sale

These calipers are the largest fitted to the 036 from the factory, used on Euro models as of roughly 03/1993 production. USA and Japan market cars received the larger front calipers, but not the rears. The same calipers were also used on the 600SL/SL600 through 1998, and SL500's equipped with...

Captruff unfortunately didn't have a set available but thanks to @Duh_Vinci's and @gsxr's kind advice I was able to buy the front calipers off this car

I'm sure these will be really crusty, so I will send them out for refurbishment once I receive them

Nice good to know these were still available, since reportedly, there is not much left on this car that is useful. Glad it all worked out!

Received the calipers and they are quite crusty....has me wondering in what poor state the rest of the car must have been if the calipers look this rough.

I went to check with the dealership and it turns out these calipers are still available new at $1,100 per caliper. I think I will go that route instead of having the used set refurbished. Less hassle and no concerns that everything will be as it should be with those.

Very interesting! I forgot to check if new was still available. Note the new ones have a -64 suffix indicating *something* changed, but I'm not sure what. Normally this indicates a different supplier but I can't imagine anyone besides Ate making these calipers.
