83 Benz 300D ATE calipers outer dimensions didn't quite fit
This is for a pair of loaded ATE front brake calipers for a 1983 Benz 300D (W123). Packaging and shipping - 5 stars. Unboxing and examining the product, I was impressed with the build quality. Glad they had a fully-loaded option and that I went with that. Are the pads the benz-specific softer material? The braking doesn't feel like it, but that's a nit - not unexpected. My biggest concern is that the right caliper's outer dimensions didn't match the original. After mounting, it lightly contacted the outer rotor hub. Just enough to scratch it. I resolved by grinding off a safe (I hope) minimum of material to clear and allow for some possible heat expansion. Should not have had to do that. Also, the order was to include new pad wear sensors for both calipers but only had one set.
