Type 25 Front Brake Caliper - 1979-85 - Right

This replacement front brake caliper is designed for all early Type 25 (T3) Buses from the start of production up to July 1985, providing a direct-fit solution for restoring safe, reliable braking performance. Engineered for the front offside (Right-Hand Side – driver’s side on RHD models), this caliper replaces worn, seized, or leaking originals and ensures correct braking force distribution across the front axle.

The caliper is supplied without brake pads, allowing you to choose your preferred compound or upgrade to a performance pad at the same time. Built to OE-equivalent standards, it uses the factory mounting points, brake disc size, and hardware layout for a straightforward installation.

Compatibility With Baywindow Models

This caliper can also be used on Late Baywindow Buses (Aug 1972 onwards).
The only difference compared to the original Bay caliper is the location of the brake hose inlet, which sits in a different position. Functionally, the caliper is fully compatible and works exactly as intended once fitted.

Why Replace Your Caliper?

Front calipers on older VW buses often suffer from:

• Sticking pistons

• Corrosion from moisture ingress

• Fluid leaks

• Uneven braking or pulling during braking

• MOT failures due to poor braking balance

Replacing the caliper restores sharp, consistent braking and improves overall safety—especially important on heavily loaded campers and commercial vans.

Applications:

• VW Type 25 (T3): Start of production – July 1985

• VW Baywindow Van (Late Bay): August 1972 onwards (hose inlet position differs)

A dependable, correctly specified replacement caliper for early T25s and a practical, compatible solution for Late Baywindow models.
