Hi all. Quick question! Where can I send my calipers to have them re-furbed? The car (as some of you know) had stood for 3 years prior to me buying it and the brakes aren't great. I'm running solid (unvented) 8.4s with 12" wheels. The calipers are stamped AP but I can't make out serial numbers etc. As I'm (slowly) stripping her down for a total restore now is a great time to get the anchors sorted.
all advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.....Dave

Hi Martin. I live in Collingtree Village just off J15 M1 and work in Daventry where the Cluby is currently residing. I'll get the calipers off this week and drop them into you. They are sound but I would rather have piece of mind knowing I'm going to stop when I need to!
Cheers again......Dave

If you have the time I would learn yourself. There's not much too them and I did some from info on here and the Haynes manual. My biggest mission was splitting them.
