Title: Caliper seal kits
Post by: Olympia5776 on 04 November 2011, 20:51:11

I've just spend a hour searching for a non MD supplier of caliper seal kits with no success.
I want to rebuild the rear calipers on my car but as my two MD's are  55 miles east and west from me and won't post it would be easier and quicker to source from a UK supplier and have them posted over .
Anyone know of a seal kit supplier ?

Thanks Rob ,I had seen that ad but couldn't find it on my notepad.  :-[
Well after dismantling one I'm not happy with the condition of the piston and after pricing up the kit ,postage and two 40mm pistons it makes no economic sense to rebuild these two so I've had a look for reconditioned ones.
There is only one company on E bay listing rear calipers but at £35 P&P per item they're having a laugh. I've googled a search but nothing came up for the Omega .

So question 2 ,any recon caliper suppliers known over there?

I'll get some prices here tomorrow but only today a MX5/Eunos owner was telling me how he went to a UK supplier 'cause Irish suppliers were twice as much. >:(
