I spent a very frustrating afternoon - more like five hours - trying to install the #@@#%% handbrake calipers. These are not the Brembos and are pretty poor for a car of this calibre IMHO. I tried all kinds and combinations of washers as spacers and could not get the darn things to centre on the rotor or work properly. The fixing plate flexes and so does the caliper itself with just two Allen head bolts.

Well no wonder because my local farm implement store sells these calipers too, albeit with a smaller spacer for agricultural use.

Anyway sorry for the rant but does anyone have a set of the Brembos for sale before I email the factory to order a set - assuming that they work and fit better than the poor versions that I have.

Thanks
