princess calipers rebuilt anyone?

[johntom]

I have decided to sell some rebuilt Princess calipers, wondered if anyone on here was interested before ebay?
They have been stripped, blasted and powder coated red and have new big red seals, new bleed nipples, new bolts, new pins, 15mm spacers (made by an engineer as they aren't available)and will suit the 24mm wide vented discs. Also new Greenstuf pads. The calipers/pads were fitted to the car but haven't been used. Cost around £290 to complete.



Could post, located in South Yorkshire, will be in Cumbria Wed & thur if anyone's interested

Hi
I am selling them because I have another set in good usable condition (may refurb over the winter if required) and to raise cash towards a new hood. Not sure if the car will make it onto the road this year any how.
Thanks guys

Soooo, where d ya get em refurbed ?

Hi
I split the calipers then had then blasted/coated at a local alloy wheel repairer. The spacers were made by an engineering company nearby as I couldn't track down any 15mm wide. The piston seal kit and spacer seals were from big red, the new bolts from a local nut/bolt factor. Tbh I don't really like the 5mm brake pad overhang with this setup, although others don't mind it for the additional braking performance.

I'd snap them up if i didnt have them already...Although they are a nice shade of red..

Ahh i see, im a little unsure about doing them myself as my lad had trouble rebuilding his míní calipers, a seal or something kept popping out when brake pressure was applied, then we was rolf by a so called míní parts expert,' oh they can do that'!!
