Not a GTi-6 but I have a set of 206 GTi Bosch calipers and just bought a rebuild kit.One slider in the kit has a cut out (presumably for the small rubber sleeve) but im not sure which slider goes in which end of the yoke? Any ideas? This is the rebuild kit:  Service box diagram courtesy of Cosmic  |

Stupid question but have you dismantled them yet? If not then just take them apart and see which ones which.Oh think i've got some standard pads for 206gti calipers you can have too, from when my mum had a gti  ________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

Hmm, in which case just try the slider without the cutout in both ends of the yoke, if it doesn't go in one end sling the other slider in that one  ________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

Think you've missed the point Alex, Matt knows how a sliding caliper works  ________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

Best suggestion so far:quote: As a guess, I'd say the rubbered slider goes on the side of the caliper nearest the ground, as I think they're designed so you can change the pads by undo-ing the top slider screw and pivoting the caliper outwards revealing the pads. Then it'd make sense that the lower slider would have some sort of in-built pivot or something. |

The above makes sense to me mate. By the looks of it the little rubber sleeve is slightly larger in diameter than the general slider diameter so it grips the yoke when inserted. Id guess when the top slider is removed the caliper can pivot on the bottom slider and swing down giving you easy access to the pads as suggested. Thats just what id guess at mate, i have never even seen one of those calipers before so i may be wrong  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

As above, lowest bolt so the caliper can pivot for easy pad removal, my 307 calipers are similar, means you can change brake pads by just undoing one 13mm bolt.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Design evolution? Maybe some of the 6 sliders were seizing to the caliper or something hence the rubber sleeve on the 206 calipers  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |
