Rear calipers
When I had the rear calipers replaced in October last year, I kept the original ones, saved some pennies and had them refurbished over Xmas by The Brake Caliper Specialists (who did my front ones some time ago).
Just got them back (see attached photos). Nice! So, when I get them fitted, I'll have a pair of rear calipers, with carriers, that have done less than 4,000 miles, surplus to requirements, if anyone's interested. They're hand-painted red, but I'm sure that will strip off if it's not to your taste. Or you could get them painted properly at BCS. PM me if you're interested.

Very nice! finish looks much better than the sand-blasted finish on the refubed ones I got.
I wish I had time to get them painted, too late now. |

Very nice!
Jim, I might have your old ones if you don't get them sold soon ..... I've spent too much lately though, so not just yet, maybe in a few months, so don't hold onto them for me. If you sell them in the meantime, no worries. That reminds me, I must chase up Rob again and the plasti-dip painting of those damn door handles ....

Hi,
Did you ever sell these? Seems that the chimp who last did mine wasn't clever enough for fit the piston gaiters properly and now all horribly corroded in delicate areas..... Thanks Nick |
