Ordering brake parts

Post by guymcc »

Hi there, very quick Q.

I'm ordering parts online for various...front rear brake cylinders, shoes etc. My questions are..

where is the best place to order from? Currently Bull motif seem to be well priced and orders over £70 you get free delivery

and second question is..

when ordering the brake cylinders for the front, it states a price of £13.95 +vat for them, in brackets it days (2 per side all models..) and then states 'price per unit'... so is this price just for one or is it actually for two. So to get four it would cost c£64???
TIA

Bull motif do a full 'do your brakes' kit, which seems well priced.

thanks for he quick reply,

wow £10 sounds very cheap. I'm going for the Lockhead parts. can't find them anywhere for that amount even without VAT.

what about the difference between mintex shoes and standard, again the mintex are dearer? Also the rear cylinders can be bought for £31 for orginal and patterns for £10 which is a huge difference!

The pattern rears seem to work ok, but avoid pattern fronts. I suspect the Mintex linings may be worth the extra .

Had a look at the 'kits' good price for the pattern. shame they don't include drums so,.....

Gone for a mix and match. Good on the front and pattern on the rear. Worked out at a decent price. :D :D
