Also the carriers are attached to the calipers with 2 7mm hex key head bolts.And the carriers attach to the car side of things.Youl know if they are on the calipers as there will be 2 bolts holding them on(prob have plastic caps over the heads) then there will be 2 spare holes for attaching them to the car.

So because u have them that means every1 NEEDS them??Well i dont have braided lines or spigot rings and i dont have a bad word to say about them.No wheel wobble and definatly not a shite pedal.Once it bites it bites hard.

just a quick one, even though you've already found the answer.

these are not available from Vauxhall on their own, only complete with the caliper, so it gets quite pricey if you try to buy a kit yourself with new, genuine parts...
