Help with rear calipers

[MarcusLowe]

Hi,

We have rear calipers on our 1993 500E, we have overhauled them but for the life of us cannot find the correct fitting kits to put new brake pads in?
Every kit we order they are too short?

Can you post a photo of your calipers? If your car is Euro-spec, and late production, it may have larger rear brakes which have calipers with longer pins. Or a previous owner upgraded to the larger rear brakes. There are casting numbers on the caliper face which will identify them.

So i am assuming Bendix 347704, but i can't find a fitting kit for these or a retaining pin that is 75mm long

Ugh... yes, those are Bendix, and not very common. I was hoping you had Ate calipers.

Can you confirm what size rotors are installed? 278x24 or 300x22?

 

[MarcusLowe]

they are the 300 x 22 rotors
