Hi chaps, i dont know whether anyone can help but i've just broken the casting on my four pot ap 5200 (103 w) around the bleed nipple , i have looked at a repair but advised not to, so i need either a second hand caliper to break in half and mend mine or a good single caliper so i can throw mine away (and cry) Any help would be fantastic as i am wasting precious sunlight hours!!

AP Racing in Coventry will repair it for you - i.e. supply and fit a new half. At least they did with one of my race car calipers.

Just be careful that the cost of the repair doesn't exceed the cost of a new unit.

Google for AP Racing and give them a call
