Reconditioned calipers

Best place, but a bit pricey is Past Parts, Bury St Edmunds.

Worst place - Brake engineering, they will either muck em up or lose them!

Are these the guys with the yellow boxes? I had my HPF calipers done by them (if it's them) and they were fine.

Reconditioned calipers

I called Past Parts a couple of weeks ago, and they said £70 - £75 each plus post.

Expensive, yes, but I guarantee you that the quality of their work is superb, - Rolls Royce would be proud!
