Front Brake Rebuild

[B@man]

Just got my 400's calipers back from Bigg Red, look great, I'll post a before & after picture later. Does anyone know what the caliper retaining bolt lock tab / flexi brake mount is off - I'd guess it's Cortina / Granada ?

Anyone know of a source, old ones are far too rusty to put back !

As promised some pictures, Calipers as they where removed :



After 2 weeks away at Bigg Red :



Pair of Calipers refurbed with Electroplate coating (optional extra) came to around 160 beer vouchers.

Very nice Simon, like that electro plate finish.

Do they give any kind of guarentee on how long the finish should last given that its a cost option?

Thanks but No - Mine have a bracket mid way to hold the brake flexi, Spoke to someone over the weekend and they are from a Cortina, but are NLA so it looks like the rusty ones will be treated to a wire brush with the angry grinder and some paint thrown at them.
