Choosing the correct component and version

A component should not merely look similar to the old one; it must be suitable for the intended installation. Compare dimensions, connections, fastening points, side or position and any additional parts required. Photographs alone are not always enough to establish compatibility.

When to inspect existing parts

Before ordering, identify which component actually needs attention. Where applicable, check for damage, corrosion, wear, loose fittings or missing parts. On a restored or modified vehicle, inspect the existing assembly instead of relying solely on the model designation.

• Identify the existing component and its exact mounting location.

• Follow the individual product information and relevant repair instructions.

Selecting the right item

Choose the specific version of Wheel-brake cylinder, brake caliper that meets the repair or restoration requirement.
