Can you identify my Calliper ?

Post by shymoggie »

Hi all,

Attached some pics of a very very stuck calliper (with a busted bleed screw) :roll:

Firstly, does anyone know what they are from ? Secondly where can I get them refurbed or find replacements ?

Sorry for all the pictures, just thought it would help.

caliper

Hi Jim,
It looks very much like a Marina caliper to me!

I know of a place that rebuilds calipers, we use them all the time at work (very quick turn around!).
Unfortunately I can't find out details until monday now.
I'll let you know.

Cheers.

I get mine done at

Classicar Automotive
Unit A Alderley Road
Chelford
Cheshire
SK11 9AP

sales@classicbrakes.co.uk

Approx £40 per unit. 7 days turnround, nicely finished, never had any problems. The only b****r is the cost of posting the things off!

Wow... huge pictures... I now feel close enough to do the job with you!!
I use SC Motor Factors in Sidcup Kent. Not too far from Essex & I reckon they might do them on exchange or do you a kit if you are interested.

Thanks Martin, and everyone else.....

I tried my old trusted motor factors... £40 each exchange, including vat delkivered next day. They even gave me new link pipes from the flexi to the calliper :)
