I don't think they do, I looked at an EA one when I overhauled mine...the pulley is different for one, and those things are HARD to get off. I'll go out in the shed and have a look to see if the EA one is the same.

was having a look at the front end on the xg ute the other day, and it occured to me that the front calipers were a fair bit bigger than the e series ones, what would the chances of theses fitting into the el uprights be? has anyone looked at it before

If you have xg calipers, try bolt em up to the mildel, also paint them along with the rear garnish!

had a think about it all, and though of the el rear caliper saddles
grabbed on from gin mont only to find massive size diffrences in them
el left xg right
Image
then i decided to pull the ea front caliper off just to see how much diffrence there is
ea front caliper xg saddle back
Image
Image

so from here my plan is weld up the hole which is to far away, machine the area around said hole flat and drill new hole
Image
then also machine the front to match the clip in style pads of the e series

are you aware the e series front caliper doesnt have a carier/sadle like the xg..
e series caliper and slides bolts directly to the upright, where xg caliper and slid bolts to the carrier and the carrier bolts to its upright...
