As per the "what did you do" thread I had to source a pair of replacement front calipers today, as mine have seized on the lower inner piston on both sides.
After searching the 'net, I found a couple suppliers had them in stock. First being Torquen - albeit at over £600 for a pair for either cast iron or aluminium.. Then I found some fully rebuilt aluminium ones (the correct fitting for a TT) at less than half that, which got me thinking. Cast iron vs aluminium....??
Both seem to have their merits and drawbacks - the ali ones being much lighter, so less unsprung weight - whereas the iron ones allegedly handle the heat better, reducing the chance of disc warpage. If one believes everything one reads on the interweb LOL!
Seeing as I don't track the Zed - and I am happy with the OEM set-up, when it works properly, plus I have a set of Brembo discs waiting to go on, as opposed to the Ebay ones I had previously, I thought the ali calipers would suffice.
Opinions please - good or bad😁

I have a spoiler that I bought for £160 last year, before changing my mind to something completely different!
It's exactly the same as the OEM spoiler, but much lighter, and not made of sponge to soak up water!
It's made by Carmad, and is of excellent quality. No damage, just a bit dusty from a year in the shed.
Ready for priming and painting.
I will include the central brake light too.
Apologies for the pictures! phone is having an off day.
I will say £100, but open to offers.
I am based near Petersfield, Hampshire, and I can post for an extra £17
Cheers for looking
