caliper refurb kit
Hey up guys, went to get a caliper refurb kit from my local motor factors today (he didnt have one by the way said he'd have to order it) and
nearly fell over when he said it would be about 40 squids,cant see how they can justify that for a few rubber seals etc.
Anyone know where they are available for a better price,cortina by the way.
Cheers,
Bob

I've only done one of mine and made the mistake of going to my local Ford dealership. The cylinder alone cost nearly £30. Replacing all of the
rubbers, the bleed valve and a couple of bolts added another £10. Still, it looks nice now.

Got mine from GTS, £18 for both calipers
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

£40!!!!
That can't be far off the price of a recon caliper and you get them with a nice shiny plated finish.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thats what I thought Pete,dont know whether that included the piston or not.
Strange cos this guy is usually very reasonable.
Brakes int do a seal kit for 3.80 which is about what I expected to pay,thanks blueshift.

With a recon caliper (at about £40) you also get 12months warranty.
Enjoy.
