Title: EGi rear caliper
Post by: Skifledanabit on April 11, 2011, 02:01:11 PM
Anyone know where to get one? I need a rear offside one, seeing as mine has rusted almost to a solid hunk of metal, it keeps binding, no matter how much releasing fluid is sprayed and how much I play with the mechanism... Also, the handbrake cable for that side seems to have stretched, anyone know where I can get a replacement for that too, or a fix?

i think you have 4 options.

Find an upraated kit ( you\'ll probs have to get a hole set)

find someone breaking an FC (some specialists might be breaking some

Go to mazda (I imagine it will cost an arm and a leg)

rebuild kit? (not sure if this is available)

the rebuild kit wont be much help, its the handbrake mechanism that\'s seized on me, so the spring etc

I think the EGI and TII rear\'s are the same, in which case you can get rebuild kits for these.  Budweg do calipers, and rebuild kits, but can\'t get into that part of their catalog...

Atkins Rotary also do rebuild kits:

Worth asking the vendors on here if they stock/sell them, as they are usually a lot cheaper than a caliper, and you can rebuild them in a day easily.
