Hello!

I would need to change my front brake calipers since the one on the right is leaking a little bit and it seems impossible to repair with changing any rubber seals, etc.

However...

These calipers might have been on the car for about 22 years if they are original and some of the identification markings have worn off quite totally.

Here are two pictures:

Black line is where I measured a total width of the caliber to be 7.5 inches (19cm).

I managed to read from the caliper that it is NISSIN caliper.

Could anyone tell if these are 17CL15VN calipers and if so, if there is any variation on those (installed on different Honda model or so)? I read something about different brackets but my english is not good enough to know excactly what people mean by brackets. I could take measurements from caliper if I would know and I can measure any measurement if needed for identification.

It looks like more 17CL15VN to me than 17CL14VN, but are there some other options too? I am going to order from US, so I wouldnt like to spend additional money if they dont fit.

Aren't they stamped with the "17CL15VN" or whatever they might be right on the caliper? If so, can't you just look to confirm which one you have?

Because...

...it looks like this. This is where the information used to be:

My apologies, that site is blocked at my work (pictures won't show). I looked on my phone but it's hard to make out. Looks like I see a 5 on there but to be honest, no one will see it better than you. Maybe you can try to hit it was some sandpaper and it'll show up a bit more clear? Kind of like how you go over a credit card with paper and pencil? Or even take a wire brush and clean it all off...

I got this solved some time ago. Autopartstoday could confirm it. Front caliper was indeed NISSIN 17CL15VN and I had Centric 141.40049 and Centric 141.40050 installed without any problems.

My rear calipers still have markings visible and are NISSIN 9CLP14S and now I am possibly getting Raybestos FRC10329 and Raybestos FRC10330 if I get them to confirm if these are interchangeable with my calipers. I could find only one shop claiming to be so. Would buy any other caliper too, but only cheap, I am not driving for a long time anymore with a 1992 car...
