Subject:      Teves Caliper Same as ATE?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

I'll be ordering up a bunch of parts so want to make sure I get the right stuff.

it appears that I have Teves calipers:

Are ATE's the same?

And...

Are Girling and Teves calipers the same in terms of performance?

(yes an upgrade to the '86+ front end/calipers would be nice.... but
ain't gonna happen <grin>)

Thanks!

Neil.
