Refurbished calipers - where to buy ??

[Pistachio]

Does anyone know of a good, reliable source for rebuilt calipers? I need a set of rear ones for my 182

Cheers

Bigg red don't stock them, you have to post your calipers to them. Just had mine done:

Phoned big red but they didn't have any. Ended up getting some refurbed ones off eBay. And I can send my old ones back to them

The handbrake mechanisms in mine are knackered. One sticks on all the time and the other doesn't grip at all. I ordered some refurbed ones from ebay on an exchange basis

how much did it cos i need mine doin looked on website no price guide

 

[Pistachio]

£125 for each caliper but you get £30 back on each when you send it back. So £95 each really

Bigg red charged me £99 to refurb the pair, plus postage. Total near £120 as I had to send my calipers to them.

Mine was £65 per calliper.

65 + 65 + 9.90 = £139.90


I got front and rear calliper carrier brackets done also @ £10 per bracket

How hard is it to refurb the rears yourself ?

I read on here that the handbrake mechanisms in the calipers are a pain to put back together.

Forgot to mention - Bigg Red painted my carriers in with that price. It was £149 for the 'premium coating'.

I have a set of decent working rears for sale
