Default anyone know neil from capri sport? I need some brakes!

trying to contact them through the number on their ebay shop and no answer for days. No matter when i ring. Typed the company name into google and other people have had similar problems on a capri based forum too.

Basicly he's selling a brembo brake kit for a 2wd cossie and need it asap but going on what other people have said its not looking like a wise option lol

Does anyone know anyone selling a kit or even a frs brake kit?
Cheers luke

He doesn't really respond any more. Tickover sell a hi spec brake kit very simular to it for a Capri. They will fit it if you want as well.

I don't know. I have heard he still sells parts but I tried to contact him a while ago about the strut braces he produces but never got a reply. Your taking a risk.

He never answered his phone or emails BUT when i brought the brake kit he answered everyone of my questions within the day and delivery was spot on.

So credit where credits due

Have dealt with him a few times and won't bother again! Had Ł500 in my hand to buy 2 sets of brakes for capris and he wouldn't sell them to me until I paid an extra Ł10 to join the caprisport club and all I got was 6 a4 pages advertising bits he did. The brakes were crap too!

The replacement nut/ bolt sets he sells on Ebay? They are only zinc plated and not very much either judging by the look of them, I gave all mine an extra coat of zinc paint and then a coat of laquer once they were tightened up, they seem to be holding up well but I would never of put them on just bare as I knew they would rust straight away.
