So I got myself a thunderace rear caliper the other day on ebay, nice and cheap. I need new rear pads anyway, so it seemed like an ideal time - the bike is a 1999.
Except it doesn't fit, absolutely nowhere near. What years Thunderace calipers were meant to be right (I did a LOT of hunting through this forum trying to find that out before I bought it, but found absolutely nothing from anyone stating any years). Mine was listed as being 1998/1999.
There's no chance this will fit at all, please see the pic. Even if I ground 1/2" out, the bolt holes still wouldn't line up! Does anyone know what caliper this bike is from? If it's a Thunderace, what year should it have been? And is there a bracket out there I could fit that it'll fit to? (e.g. TRX bracket)
Thanks for any help.
