Had handbrake caliper pads changed this morning. off side rear caliper sliders fused, then snapped, now knackered.

In short I need a new caliper.
Any suggestions anyone please?
Found one on eBay £180...

I've been looking for the handbrake pad today as mine is very worn. Stumbled across this but haven't used them or know if they are any good. Hope it helps.

Does anyone know what the handbrake pads are or where they can be purchased at a sensible price?

EDIT: I just noticed the price is £150 + VAT so there isn't any saving. Sorry!

The pads can be ordered from Europarts.
They come off a Jag S Type.

Will the V12V parking brake caliper
(Part no AD23-2K327-BB)

Fit a V8 Vantage?

Or does the hub/CCD make a difference to the fit?

I don't think the V12 and V8 calipers are the same. The V12 carbon discs are much thicker (about twice as thick) as the cast iron item on the V8. The internal parts are most likely identical.
