AS the title says, I'm trying to find out what year model calipers fit onto a standard (no vented disc). I know they're S12+8, but from what years? Will a pair from a 2012 Luxy fit?

cheers

A number of Toyotas have the same S12+8 caliper from my experience. LN106, LN107, LN111 series Hilux and 75 series Landcruiser use the same calipers (well the rebuild kits I used said so anyway!)

Hybridz has it stated as years 79-85 for the S12+8 non-vented.  Requires trimming of the backing dust plate.

Years 86-88 are S12+8 but are the vented rotor IIRC

Vented ones can work, ScootaG tested that the pistons wont pop out. Or you can just put an old pad behind the new ones.

I'm running vented calipers on my non-vented rotor.

 

Having owned both types of caliper I can definitively say that  the caliper casting is exactly the same between a vented and non-vented S12+8 with the exception of the brake disc "slot" width.

The pistons can pop out only if the rotor wore down to 7mm and you had no brake pads left.
