looking for a caliper as the retaining bolt on the slider is rounded off

also front brake hoses required for my 1985 fb
Thanks

Check out in the forum for brake hoses. See Lucky's posts.

A guy in the North East has started making S3 kits to our patterns. Perhaps he'll do a part kit.

just had a quote of £52 each inc vat all in for a full refurb by a company I have found, thats about the same price as the kits and pistons

Can I ask which company that was? Is it Bigg Redd? I just refurbished my spare calipers myself and the seals and new pistons did indeed come to about 50 quid per side... though admittedly I could have re-used the old pistons if I'd been arsed to clean the rust off. I found it curiously satisfying, so I'd be interested to see what a professional refurb is like

just shows the markup on these seals.... I've just bought a full set of rebuild seals at £2.50 per caliper from RockAuto.....I bought a set of seals from BiggRed once for nearly £30 per axle set, never again... and I haven't needed to buy new pistons yet, most clean up with some wet and dry

Here is what Bigg Redd emailed me when I asked about their brake repairs. I've just done the fronts myself.. But I would definitely send them away next time aye! Cleaning them sucks



The premium finishing adds a chunk of change though! :|
