Urgent Brake Calipers Needed

[Jon Brown]

Having sorted out the front suspension and sheared one bleed nipple of the brakes the other side also wont come undone.

Was hoping to get the 4 pot brake kit from spanner fodder, but havnt heard anything back.

So in the meantime I need a couple of standard brake calipers to keep me going or rather stopping (ideally with bleed nipples that come undone).

Can anyone help?

What size discs (diameter) have you got? If standard they will be 240 or 260mm. They are ford sierra calipers so not too hard to find, ebay is probably the cheapest place. If your discs are 240mm put a post on the S series forum I know quite a few on there have parts squirreled away and member gerald-tvr has broken a couple of cars it might be worth a PM to him (same brakes on the front of the S).

If your discs are 260mm these are still available but a bit harder to find - they are off sierra xr's or later models with ABS.

Alternative sources for new are http://www.brakeparts.co.uk (very helpful I've used them a few times) and http://www.biggred.co.uk
They are not as expensive as you think new.

Hope this helps

Yes just the normal 240mm, I shall have a look on the bay and S Series
