Purple Tom 0 Posted November 29, 2014 I've got plenty of these - £50 posted to you for a set. £35 for the calipers and £15 P&P due to the weight. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket Ron 1 Posted November 29, 2014 Is that for the pair got any pics and what state are they in, because they prob need refurb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted November 29, 2014 I've got multiple sets of 288's and 312's. They're all in good usable condition with decent seals but can be refurbed if you want to. I can get some pictures if you really want but I'll just pick out the best set for you if you're going to bolt them straight on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Do you have any 312 carriers Tom? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Yep, around 10 sets of 312's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted November 30, 2014 How much for a set of carriers? I'm happy for a grotty set as they'll be cleaned up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuggs1 10 Posted January 11, 2015 I've got plenty of these - £50 posted to you for a set. £35 for the calipers and £15 P&P due to the weight. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers Tom Hi I have the lovely grinding sound coming from my rear brakes when reversing - if I understand correctly the MK3 calipers will resolve this? - is it just these I need - or do I need to replace other parts i.e. discs, pads. Do the calipers come with the carriers? - do they need much refurb? Not tat mechanical myself so will have to get a garage to do the work for me - Ouch more expense! Thanks very much Chuggs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 11, 2015 It's mk4 rear calipers used for upgrade chuggs. Discs and pads not strictly necessary, but worth replacing if your doing the calipers. There's a thread in the wiki section with part numbers of what's needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks Sean will take a look the wiki - to be honest the grinding isn't bad and is intermittent but has bad habit of happening only when someone is walking by as I reverse Lol! So may well be worth doing in the not too distant future - and will I think look cosmetically better too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocket Ron 1 Posted April 13, 2015 In the final stages of refurbishing a set of 288mm calipers waiting for new seal kit from the stealers £18 + vat each now gone up from orig (£12)on forum.

Chuggs1 10 Posted April 13, 2015 I used the goodridge braided hoses but they are more than that - full set of 6 for front an drear are 115 - think the front only are around 50 ish maybe 55 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted April 13, 2015 I got mine from C and R for about £65 for the set. No prices online currently but try calling them, Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket Ron 1 Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks for that. What are the other companies like GSF/Euro for standard hoses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket Ron 1 Posted April 19, 2015 Seals arrived now ready to put calipers back together is there a knack for putting seals/pistons in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
