I have used them before Zig and they are good and competitive on price also used a jag specialist and not quite as cheap but were local so no postage costs which helped.

you'll find most places won't touch the 4 pots, i used this place http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/ dave is very helpful and cost was about £180 all in for the pair (postage,vat) but i think bigred are cheaper.

in hind sight i think i would consider a change to better calipier!! .........the austin princesses ones really are crap!

http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/Wedge%20295mm%20Bille... if you go for the plain silver £439

by the time you've refurbed the callipers £180, pads £50, braided lines £50, brake fluid £20............disc's .....well if they're the alloy hub bell mount type like mine then they're going to have to be made..........priceless!! biggrin
