[Fot] Toyota calipers for TR's

All the wider Toyota calipers I have found that suit vented rotors, have
bigger caliper pistons resulting in too much stroke of the TR6 master cyl..
I have found versions with 2 x large & 2 x smaller  pistons and others with
4 large pistons. The total piston area in all of these is much bigger than
the stock TR caliper. The early hilux/4-runner ones made for solid rotors
have differential size pistons that are almost identical in total piston
area to a TR caliper. I am trying to find calipers with the smaller pistons,
that are made for vented rotors.
The excellent article entitled "toyota brake install" by Lee Janssen does
not deal with this issue.
