What caliper fitment are you after. I have a few, but most are alloted to projets, but some aren't...

 

[johnonthetyne]

am not really sure, al post pic on here tmrw if this helps.

 

[johnonthetyne]

sorry bout pic quality , does this shed light on ti.

Looks like a no3 caliper.Are you running a 180mm disc?
But that ain't a C2... It's an O2. Similar, but not the same. C =closed, O=open. If you use these with the wrong calipers, your brakes won't work very well. Does your lever have a twiddly adjuster knob on top of the master cylinder? Post a photo if you can. I might have one of these spare. I'll have a rummage.

 

[johnonthetyne]

yes theres a knob that adjusts the pads in and out! thouught that was c2, thats what the bloke at bikehut told me.the rotor measures 180mm

 

[suburbanreuben]

Yup, that's a C2 lever, but the caliper in the pic is an O2. There are dire warnings on Hope's website about mixing them up, though what would happen, I have no idea.
I don't have a spare C2 no3 caliper, but they are the most common fitment, so there should be a few on ebay right now.
