Hi everyone
i have just bought a '86 350i which has been stored for a number of years. Basically the brakes are sticking and I wondered if anyone could recommend a supplier for the neccessary caliper seal kits? Are the fronts Granada or Cortina and the rears XJS, I've had 3 other wedges but can't quite remember ?

For the rears, you can get a full refurb kit from ward engineering. Ordered mine today.

I think the Jag ones are all the same ??? Not totally sure...

Fronts - If original, are Cortina/Granada II, same caliper for solid disc.

If vented then I think they are Granny ones only (a mod kit did/does exist with a spacer, if it's been converted as an amateur job....)

If it's a 4 pot caliper then not sure where they came from...(austin princess ?)
