Any ideas of a brake refurbisher South London or Kent for Princess calipers as am tired of stuck pistons and poor reliability
As usual any ideas would be appreciated

I've used Bigg Red many times in the past - not the cheapest, but always done a good job.

I've got a set of the Princess 4 pots in my garage. I was going to have a go and refurb myself and fit to the Wedge later in the year. I've seen some of the work Bigg Red does and their refurbed calipers look like new.

By the time you buy all the parts and clean them up and repaint/ powdercoat, it's about as cheap to get an exchange set already done. Ask me how I know... rolleyes

Bigg Red here too.

the calipers for the Taimar went there, came back like new and anodised gold.

The rear calipers and front princess calipers are going there next week too, get a 10% discount if you send four calipers.

He said he cant refurb the handbrake part, but itll be cleaned and anodised in the process, so should be as new when returned.
