Hey folks,

I’ve got my MK3 Grantura with a local mechanic (non specialist) just to get it back up and running.

He’s advised me that the front calipers have ceased, and I’d be best off replacing them rather than reconditioning them.

The car is a mongrel, so I don’t believe these will be original parts….perhaps the TVR section is the right place to ask this question, but got to start somewhere!

The chap who originally restored the car harvested a replacement motor from an MGB, so I’m thinking these will likely have come from the same vehicle but I don’t have any evidence.

I just thought I’d ask if anyone recognised this type of caliper, so I can source some replacement ones?

Thanks
Andy

Thanks for the input folks, I really appreciate the support.

The mechanic doesn’t deal with classics but is doing me a favour to get it running and driving as I’ve had too many false starts with the TVR specialists.

Thanks for all the comments folks. Moss have these:

Which seem to cover off both imperial variants of the Girling 16 and the metric one with conversion bits. I’ve also my guy to just replace with these as fairly inexpensive.
