Ahh i shall make you wait Mike lol. They are still in the car. Spent my lunch BRAKE (:D) cleaning them up. Got the good old brake fluid remover and a wire brush on them.

They came complete with 3 split pins and a nail!!!!!

Anyway if people havent already guessed what arrived today it was a packaged disguised as an Iceberg!!
Inside were 2 brake discs 4pads and 2 cooper S callipers.

Took them into one of the technitians bays at lunch, got the pads out covered them in brake cleaner and got to it with the wire brush.
Used the airline to get the pistons (or "POTS") out, and they look brand spankign new, as do the seals and locking rings, which is a bonus.
Will get pictures up soon, possibly the weekend. Am probably going to give them a nice coat of silver paint when cleaned up.

Well thought it abuot time to put up some pictures of my callipers for Mike lol.

Bought off MiniDaves. They arrived wrapped up like an iceberg.

In need of a clean, althouh i did spend an hour, a lot of brake cleaner and a wire brush to give them a bit of a clean.
Anyone suggest what i can use to get them clean as possible??

As you can probably see from the pics. The pistons (or POTS) look fairly new, as do the seals.
Probably going to paint them silver, or gold, NOT YELLOW mike lol
Will get a new set of discs and pads.

Anyway heres the pics.
