They have good feedback & no mention of returning old ones.

Woodford stock new ones IIRC there where Ł90 outright each

They had them at Ford Fair so would probably be at Nat Day?

I rebuilt mine, really not that hard to do....only hard bit is getting the internals back in and compressing the spring inside the caliper!!!

Cost me about a tenner for new nipple from big red, new sliders and bolts. New seals from Graham goode about Ł20 and then a strip down and paint took some time more than cost.

Probably a silly question but how do you tell the difference between the 2wd ones and the 4x4 ones ??

The carrier is wider to accomodate the vented disc on the 4x4 .

the 4wd ones are wider by 10mm than the 2wd ones

difficult to tell without a ruler really but the bit that grabs the pads obviously has to incorporate a 20mm disc rather than a 10mm disc
the carriers are easy to spot as they are about 22mm wide in the slot rather than about 12mm wide
