After removing mine yesterday, one side is fooked !

Where is the best place to buy a reconned set from ??

Ford do them but they are silly money !

 

Bare with me Alex, theres a place near birmingham just off the M5, but i cant find the details at the mo, ill come back to you shortly.

 

Cheapest I could find. Oh & their new not recon. Just bought a set.

Those are a good price!

Just called Ford for laff !...... Ł 125 each ! and they want mine in xchange !!

Fook that !

 

you could always try www.biggred.co.uk, they sell calipers and all the bits needed to rebuild them

 

escos 95:
that's not a bad price if there is no surcharge involved

 

ooo found a local place does them for Ł69.99 each xchange thats not too bad..

.

 

i had one on on friday, Ł98.50 fitted

 

Got a set for 100 €uros (80 quid), exchange but you have to know the fella & he's in Germany.

 

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

 

I thought so. Paid Ł132.00 for the pair delivered.

 

big red is th company i was going to suggest.

i found them then went to post a reply but PF was down for me again, which happens on a daily basis now

 

YES WELL YOU WOULD DO OTHERWISE YOU WANT GET THEM OF HIM RIGHT!!!LOL-----------

 

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

 

Ta... I just need to be sure when u pick mine up Thursday

 

Alex... 4x4s have the ribs on each side of the centre cutout above the piston whereas the 2wd ones don't. Shite description really but this is how I tell the difference...

4x4




2wd

 

Cheers Just the job

 

Simmosaph - Did you get those of ebay?

 

The 4x4 ones yes...

 

Do you have a link to the ebay ad ? I dotn think the ones i am gettin have the new carriers..

 

You have pm

 

New callipers on route .... Thanks Mate....

The local shop that was gettin mine, had no carriers with them and
they were re-conned jobbies not even re-conned ford ones

Bugger that !

Al....

 

I've just bought a pair and there is only one pair left now if anyone is interested?
