Ok! So even the caliper is different. Did not know that. I thought the only different was the ventilated disc and the caliper holder.

No, the caliper thread size is the same its the other end of the hose that has a larger thread as it has to accommodate 4.5mm piping.

I will remember that I have used calipers from other models on my earlier 16 Valve. That explains how that can be possible. Maybe it is an idea to order a pair and put in the sparepart box for the future.
