Default Front Brake Carriers

Had a search but found nothing and Lings Honda made it no clearer. Are the front brake caliper carriers the same OSF and NSF?

Looking on Brakes International they only list one part number so suspect so but wanted to confirm before I order.

Cheers in advance.

They will fit either side, but make sure the non-round pin is at the bottom of the carrier, and the full-round one is at the top. They should both slide freely in their tubes obviously.

Good question. I am 99% sure they are the same. The calipers are definitely handed.

Actually, they are the same because when I baked my paint on my calipers, I didn't bother noting which carrier was from what side

On a related subject, does anyone know where I can buy new sliders and rubber boots from for the front and rear calipers?

Asked BigRed and they said I'd have to remove them, measure them and let them know the sizes so they could match it. Can't really do that as I'm working abroad.

Any ideas guys?

Unless the sliders are majorly corroded, give them a quick rub with some wet & dry and apply fresh grease.

Big Redd do the boots, part numbers are in the FAQ. Slider pins are about £15 each from Honda.
