Hi,

 

Can anyone suggest the best place to get a new (or a good used, or refurb even) front off side brake caliper.

 

I'm after a turbo cast iron one. Went to put new discs on today, turns out I have one NA 26mm aluminium caliper and one newer turbo 30mm cast iron caliper! :huh:

 

I'm not looking to get one and refurbish seals etc, as I need to get my Zed back on the road asap. Just want to replace it.

 

The local auto places couldn't help me until Monday as their suppliers aren't open at the weekend. The guy estimated £125 ish for a new one.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, as my Zed is sitting on jacks all alone in the dark without me.

On a Saturday evening after 8pm, I wouldn't think so.....:whistling:

 

.....so I'd give JeffTT a call on Monday. You could drop him a PM over the weekend though and hopefully he can post you one out on Monday!

Thanks, is he a trader?

 

Any idea of the cost?

Just to let you know; There are also alloy callipers for the TT's iirc they changed them to iron for the series 2 due to warping issues.

Cheers all, I've sent a PM to JeffTT.

 

In the meantime, these are pics of my pending disc job...

looks like a murder scene :lol:

maybe he cut his fingers whilst fitting em :)

I have a set of Iron calipers and one set of Alloy... I know one side on the alloy has cooper piping stuck in it, but the other side is perfect. I will have a look tomorrow and let you know matey

Thanks!, JeffTT is checking his used stock and the local auto place is trying to track one down too but right now he's having enough trouble identifying the car!

 

I was surprised that he estimated the price at £70 but this was based on the Z31.

 

I might get back to you depending on what happens...
