Brakes. Need new calipers or rebuilds
« Reply #20 on: June 14, 2005, 11:49:29 PM »
OK guys.  I spent all last night and today looking at brake calipers.

I ending up going for the new, NOT rebuild, new AC Delco 'O Ring' design cast iron calipers from ecklers.  With all the stainless steel brake lines, pads, pins etc, etc, and our club discount, cost $665.90 U.S. for all four wheels plus freight.  [about $888 aussie dollars].

To go the aluminium force 10 from Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation worked out to $1500 U.S.  and I just had to draw the line some where.  Bugger.

Thanks for all your input's.  Much appreciated.

They are here.  Guess what I'm fitting this weekend.. [I'll paint them up first]

Oh, by the way, thanks Mick for your info as it is the brakes you posted that I bought.  Paid no import again.  Bax global really know their stuff and looked after me again.  Can't speak highly enough of them.
