Title: Caliper repair kit for front of EGI??
Post by: MrHanky on April 04, 2010, 03:51:58 PM
Hi,
 
Just wondering if you can get caliper repair kits from anywhere in the UK?  I have noticed on other threads that you can order from rockauto, but unfortunately I need to get some before next weekend as I am doing a trackday at Mallory on Saturday.  
 
Thanks
 
Mark

Thanks very much, do you happen to know if it contains the caliper pins?  If not I will give them a call tomorrow.
Thanks again

The set I got was rubber parts, dust seals and the metal clips to hold them on - they don\'t provide any pins

Fronts.  Are they the same then?  Or just same sort of size?
 
Thanks

same in terms of performance and size (they take the same pads).

though they\'re less likely to seize and slightly easier to work with

Checked with my local Mazda dealer and he can supply the pins (hopefully correct ones).  Should be here in a few days, so will see then.  Really need these to be correct, or I doubt I will get the new pads on for Mallory :(
 
Thanks for the help
