Default ba xr8 vs bf xr8 calipers

As title suggests is there any difference in front calipers between the ba xr8 ute and the bf xr8 calipers. I know that the bf has larger front rotors.

The BF had a different caliper to accommodate the larger 322mm rotor. Compared to the 298mm rotor on the BA.

exactly the same caliper, the mounting bracket is different to accommodate the 24mm larger rotor on the front.
if it's a series 1 BF XR8 the rear rotor will be 328mm and vented as opposed to a solid 280mm? rotor on the back of BA and series 2 BF.

As mentioned it is mainly the caliper cradle that is different to accomodate the larger rotor and the brake pads are also the same.

Are the caliper cradles able to be purchased separately. Also do you have a photo of what the cradle would look like compared to the ba one.
Cheers Ash.
