Question Sodding rear brakes

RANT and questions

Picked up some second hand rear brakes a while ago in much better condition than the ones on the car in terms of pitting, however in finally taking them to the work bench to clean them up ready for paint I can see that they are of a different design on each side! I believe they will take the same pads / discs (??) but now I'm bloody annoyed that they are not a matching pair, as they are rear brakes I doubt it will make much difference?





Will be fitting new pads and discs all round

spare callipers were sourced privately - yonks ago, originally was GIVEN a pair by a mate who had them sat in his shed but upon inspection they were both for the same side (bleed nipple location was the same on both) so this other one was then sourced from elsewhere and I just haven't looked properly until now

bugger, I'd better check the box with the new discs and pads in it then as it was ages since that purchase, the rears currently on the car look to be the same shape as the one with the wider disc carrier aperture
