    D2 calipers to D1

    Does anyone have front D1 and D2 calipers to compare to see if the D2's will fit to a D1, looking at vented disc options.

    Why?

    Sliding calipers are a downgrade. If you want better stopping them the defender calipers (certain model range) have 25% bigger pistons for more stopping power.
    Vented rotors will only stop brakes from over-heating. They won't make them more powerful in normal operation and can have problems packing with mud offroad.

    I went to defender calipers and vented rotors on my 85 RRC about 8 years ago. Best modification ever.

    Thats why i am asking about the D2 calipers, would be cheaper and more available than defender calipers.

    Seeing like how every single component of the D2 front hub is different to the D1 I can't see there being any chance whatsoever of the calipers interchanging.

    I had assumed so but have never seen them to compare.

    There is a kit to convert standard callipers to fit vented rotors.

    Second hand will likely need rebuilt anyway. Which would murder any initial savings.
