Calipers from a Granada mk3 estate and Scorpio estate are the exact same and easy to find.

for them selling complete calipers and discs, and to be fair the calipers look in reasonable condition, it's probably not a ridiculous price

Calipers should be the same though if I remember correctly, the guy might do a deal without the discs.

Calliper's are easy enough, the carriers you would probably need from the said Granada (or frog-eye Scorpio)

Wouldnt really make sense for TVR to have used different carriers though.

Just adds cost to them for no good reason.

That’s the one I’m struggling for carriers calipers are quite easy to get there going on a focus rs mk1 with cossie big discs so I’ll have to make some adaptor plates anyway they don’t have to bolt up to a cossie beam tbh

Carrier is a fairly simple item...I guess if there was a market for them, wouldnt be too hard for someone to knock a few out on a CNC.

Whether the market is big enough to support that cost though...is another matter. Could probably even be done in alloy, only caveat being the slider holes might benefit from a steel insert

I'm 99% sure the whole caliper/carrier assembly is the same on a TVR with vented rear discs

You will need the vented disc calipers
They are 20mm thickness not the 10mm of the normal ones
They also came on the Granada estates too
