Caliper Refurb
Turbo Mini Forums

Ello, i need a caliper refurbishing...can anyone recommend someone as i cant find one person???

Most mini companies sell recon calipers.

Local motorfactors usally exhange calipers. In milton keynes we have a motorserve and a central auto supplies.

If you really cant find anywhere in london i could give u the details for these two.

if you could give us those numbers as i heard ti like 40 to get refurbed appose to 119 for new caliper

any money i can save will help loads

try www.brakeparts.co.uk i think thats the site anyway. other than that why not refurb them yourself?

Im going to work now (halfords) ill check what we do them for

thats each by the way. If not, call into any local halfords for an exchange - they may have to order them but its usually next day

i think i will go ask halfords near me only 2 seconds away

jayar cost ?33 + vat for 4 pots so its not even worth doing it yourself, im now going to pick 1 up so i will let you no what they are like.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

I've got a refurb question.

Behind one of the seals for the caliper piston I've got a big groove. Will this make the caliper seal fail? I cannot see why to be honest, but they are very nicely machined there. Is this because the piston needs to be centered, or is the surface quality very important?
