HELP - need re-furb rear brake calipers

[pbaker43]

I have a brake piston that is sticking and need to find some re-conditioned units.. I thought it may be the flexi but if I change this and the piston is still sticking I will have a problem, as I go to the South of France next weekend...
I can buy some reconditioned ones from Racing green or other dealers, but cash is a little low after refurbishing the front suspension, new tyres, plus all the engine except the heads and block...

Is anyone able to help me

Kind regards

Philip

Biggred will refurb them for you, not sure on the turnaround though. Around £100 for both

If no one has any calipers, I have been looking on the web and found some but I need to know for sure what the calipers are off, I have a 97 Chim with rear vented discs

Hi Defcon5, thanks for the reply,I will be speaking to Bigg Red on Monday to see if I can do a deal with them, at the moment just trying to find options over the weekend

Any Ford Sierra/Granada/Escort Cosworth circa 92/96 as long as it as vented rear discs the calipers are the same,well the calipers,they all look the same only the vented one's have a wider claw and pad carrier to accomodate the wider/vented disc hope this helps EDITED....just seen post above be careful here as most of these use 253mm solid rather than the 273mm vented rear discs solids as in earlier Sierra/Granada models later tended to be vented especially 4x4 models.
