Default Handbrake Caliper

Hi All.
I need to get some mechanical handbrake calipers, I know there are a few to pick from BUT which will do the job as a handbrake.

Thanks

Alan

More info needed. Are you already running rear discs and just need a spot caliper or do you need calipers with an integral handbrake? What car?

Hi S1,
I have Wilwood Integras on the front and Superlight 111 4 pots on the rear. I have 355 X 32 on the front and 300 X 24mm on the back, just looking for a good handbrake caliper. I was told you can use the 4 X 4 rear caliper just for the handbrake but I think the rear disc is only 20 mm thick.

Brembo handbrake caliper - on ebay is about the best. Think it will only do a min 330mm disc though.

Hispec maybe.

Hi S1
I did look at them but they only do them for 20mm max discs (so they said), I have 24mm so a friend said to use the Vauhall VX220 rears as these are for 25mm discs, He has been using the Cossi rear with 20mm vented and Hi-Spec 4 pots.
I spoke to him about the mot and he has no probs with his setup.
Thanks for the replys guys

Alan
