[QUOTE="watchhislegs, post: 117649, member: 4558"] Thanks for the replies everyone. I remanufacture mainly Japanese calipers as a hobby and I picked it up for £5 with no idea what brand or model it might be off. It took me ages to find out what the decal said and I was surprised it might be Vincent related as they are all drum brakes I thought. I know very little about Vincent's other than the Richard Thompson song! The thing is, it doesn't seem to be just some generic Japanese caliper; it's a monoblock caliper with what looks like a screw in insert to cover the hole used to machine the caliper recess. There is also a marking of 'DOPPLER' stamped on the underneath of the caliper which sadly has thrown up nothing in my Google search. It's got me stumped this one. I love a challenge though. Cheers again for all your input [/QUOTE]
