Any one know the RAL code for the yellow 2018 calipers ?
I’m gonna tear my Hawk calipers ( well not literally) off next week along with other things so fancy this
Also want to replace the brembo decals with STI
Anyone know where I can purchase these from also
Kindest regards mic

I very much doubt a RAL code is available or known. Most manufacturers of wheels and Brakes “mix” they’re own Colours.

As you won’t need to match exactly a nearly the same would nave good enough.

Only just seen this thread.
Nearest RAL colour in the K7 classic list is RAL1016 (Sulfur yellow}

Thanks for reply guys
I’ll give it a look , / not sure weather to wet paint or powder ( prob wet , I always get the calipers on my bikes powder but I find they crack around the bleed nipples with time ( the paint that is , happened with several so wasn’t just a one off . I wet painted the calipers blue that are on the Hawk now , they look ok , but not excellent so I’m in 2 minds .

Don Clark

Further to previous reply there is also RAL1026 (leuchtgelb or luminous yellow)

Yes I think that’s more like it
I had in my mind it was like the “ mellow yellow “ NASCAR shade back in the day.. think that one above migh just be the one
Thanks Don

So had a free day today ...
Time to get the brakes off / strip / box & sort
Quite a nice big bag of bolts , clips , nuts , washers etc for plating . Calipers all ready + bells & a few other bits . But as it’s a full refresh I’d rather take them for paint with the other bits I’m taking off . But hey ho it’s a start .

So finished putting the calipers together Sunday after a nice lunch , had a bit of a pickle with the front off side internal O ring passage way seal , it was looking very perished ( I improvised & used a tiny grommet ( cut the top off & made the hole so it would sit in its depression & still compress as a 0 ring seal . Job done /
Ps if any one knows where I can get the correct seal or has a part number I could always use & change out . Contacted Ian , SG Petch & import car parts today just to see if this item is avail , no luck - wich is why I made one as on looking at repair kits ( none ) had this 0 ring for front brembo , none I found anyway.

iTrader: (11)

Havnt fitted the rear’s yet Don as stripping the back now ,
Here’s a side from the right tho , yes decided not to go for decals , I really wanted them to “pop” wich they certainly do lol. Also didn’t want painted bolts so bought new & passivated then gold , put a lot of time in on these but think it’s payed off , bloody cold outside at mo putting front back together but sorted now
