Hi All

Anyone on here know of a good supplier for a reconditioned front brake caliper for a 97-01 2.0i ?
I'm a bit desperate as I have booked My Lude in with My local garage but they can't find one through their usual sources

Cheers all

Hi

TA for the reply

I managed to find a company online who had a reconditioned one in stock by a company called BUDWEG.
I should get it tomorrow

Cheers

how did the refurb go? I noticed my ATR callipers, the lip that holds the dust seal in place is fairly corroded which would make a refurb borderline unfeasible.

BUDWEG provides factory refurbed calipers.

I did mine by just disassembling, delivered to the paint shop, cleaned, powder-coated and then installed new internals myself. Was 50EUR for paint(all 4) and 15Eur for each internals

It went really well

Garage fitted the part and I simply sent My old one back to get a £36 surcharge refund

The company I used was
Brakeparts.co.uk
The part arrived the next day too

I recently fitted a refub oem front caliper. I got my one from local motorfactors and part was in an APEC box. I think it was about £90.

Lo

My caliper from brakeparts was £70 plus £36 returnable surcharge.
