Well rolling resto coming along nicely, everything from the clutch back is now off the car and I've started cleaning up all the parts and deciding what to replace, refurb. Stripped drivers side rear caliper - all came apart reasonably well and seems to be in good condition just needs new seals and sliders. Stripped the passenger side rear brake, all went well until I pinged the big spring off from the hydraulic cylinder - big piece of the casting came with it. I must have stressed it when removing it from the frame - bu***r. Anyway its now effectively scrap - has anyone got a standard passenger side rear caliper for an 86 2.5 at the back of the shed or recommend a good breaker ???

Hi,
I've still got an old pair of rear calilers from my Lux lying in the garage, the O/S one was a bit sticky but the N/S was fine when removed about a year ago. Send me a P.M of your address if you'd like it sent. F.O.C just cover the postage :D

Alan.
