I have been told that the G500 caliper is the same as the 460 caliper with a spacer in between to accommodate the vented disc. It may be possible to repair your caliper by rebuilding with a 460 donor portion. | ||

I have been told that the G500 caliper is the same as the 460 caliper with a spacer in between to accommodate the vented disc. It may be possible to repair your caliper by rebuilding with a 460 donor portion. This is true I made a pair of vented G500 calipers using the spacer and the 460 caliper. When you take it apart watch out for the small washers inset into the spacers.

4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: G500 brake calipers stupid me - I have 460 calipers in the garage. I checked almost the same the 463 uses a14mm spacer in between the 2 halves same problem as on the 463 - the upper nipple on the left is frozen I ruined the 463 by twisting it off, the re-drilling for larger size and ruining the seat of the valve guess, I will bath this one as long as it takes to free it I have more time than money the calipers are Perrot and the 463 are not - but I'll find a solution thanks Eric! | ||

Please follow up on whether you are able to rebuild your caliper with the 460 parts. Also, if you buy the new cheap one, it would be good to know if they are the real deal and a good buy. | ||

4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: G500 brake calipers conversion from 460 caliper to 463 caliper is coming along smoothly the spacers of the 463 caliper need to be moved over to the 460 caliper along with it the 11.9 grade bolts (they are longer) image below shows the spacer between the 2 halves only the seat for the O-ring is precision machined Edited by 4x4abc 11/24/2021 11:48 AM (spacer.jpg) (2021-11-24 08.58.52-1 copy.jpg) Attachments ---------------- spacer.jpg (88KB - 0 downloads) 2021-11-24 08.58.52-1 copy.jpg (136KB - 0 downloads) | ||

4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: G500 brake calipers back to square one - the conversion is not possible the 463 vented disks are too big for the 460 caliper pics will follow I either have to make the original calipers work without the upper vent or find a way to get the inexpensive calipers from Germany | ||
