cheap sierra brake parts - where !
i went to a local shop to get some overhaul kits for my sierra calipers the kit consists of a rubber dust shroud, and a rubber seal for the cylinder -
chap said £14 per set !! - i said no thanks !!
am i being silly or is he taking the P. would apreciate if anyone has any ideas for cheap sierra parts - i am also looking for a full set of discs
(4), and pads all round.

Sounds silly, but it is the going rate, you should get a set of front discs for about £20, set of cooking pads for £10. Who told you this was going to
be cheap other than Uncle Ron?, £250 - who was he trying to kid?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

You could try a Ford dealership. Once you've been there you'll prolly quite like to spend £28 at a motor factor. 
A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

Can they give the care to reconditioning that you can? My front calipers came from a cortina built in 1981, never touched in its lifetime, I stripped
them down and fitted a recon kit from GTS, but they probably never needed it. Hva a look first, all you can, loose is 1/2 an hour .
