Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to Caterham ownership and am looking for a bit of advice…

My car is a completely standard (if there is such a thing), 1994 1.4K series Supersport. By standard I mean that by and large the car is how it left the factory (with the exception of Supersport upgrade and a change of seats & steering wheel).

My question centres around the brakes. From which manufacturer & car are the brake discs & callipers sourced by Caterham? I have discs all round and single piston callipers on each corner. I was thinking Rover or possible Ford (Sierra)?

Essentially I want to know is, it possible to source replacement discs & pads from a supplier other than Caterham Cars and if so, what car should I be quoting (although of course the bits will be going on my 7)?

All advice gratefully received!

Thanks,
