Caliper Carriers

[ColinE]

Wanted 2 front caliper carriers as thread in one of mines virtually completely stripped.

Xpart listing 1 available, none on the bay of e

[pessling]

there are loads of whole calipers with the carriers on ebay. Have a word with les as i'm sure he'll be able to sort out 2 for you.

[ColinE]

Got 2 brand new calipers so only really wanted the carriers

[Tim]

What do they look like Colin?

helicoil insert ???

It's part number SEH000040, item 1 on the attached, it's what holds the caliper to the hub

457

No actual picture I'm afraid

helicoil insert ???


Thought about that but got the last one from X-part on the way, for £40 - I'd pay that much for the helicoil with shipment etc

I've bought a couple of 190 calipers from flea bay, I'll recon the 2 carriers from these to take the new calipers, I'll use the new one to secure the caliper that's holding but only just at the moment

I've got a pair of calipers and hangers off my V8, can dig them out if your interested?
I know you only need the hanger but the caliper is no good to me then. All cleaned ready to be painted but changed my mind and fitted monster AP's and Brembo's.
How much are they worth?

[ColinE]

Thanks for the offer - sourced a couple of calipers from ebay so will strip the carriers off them

What Brembo's etc did you fit - any pics?

Bought a brand new pair of SV ones in red which are the higher spec than the black ones and as for the discs, standard SV discs will not fit the 260hubs so had ally bells machined by AP in Bromsgrove with 360mm discs which are even bigger than the SV's.
Had to fit monster brakes as I fitted 20" wheels which made the standard brakes look tiny!

[pessling]

they sound impressive, how does the braking feel. and we still need pictures

[lowey260]

I believe these are the 20" wheels mentioned.

Would love to send some pics of my V8 320 modifications but unfortunately it won't allow me to view or post any pictures :confused:

Iv' seen these ;)and believe me peter you don't want to see them, you will want a set as they look that good, if Gaz manages to post a picture I will have to look away as I know I will have to own a set :):):): mind you .......do I feel a mod coming on !!!!!

[pessling]

although the front brakes are good they just miss something in they need to be big or in the good looking stakes.

And there were you at Brooklands telling everyone that you'd got yours just as you wanted it - it was 'finished' :D

[pessling]

Your never done when modding cars. there is always something whether its big or small that can be done.

[gaz320]

Still haven't got access, if you like I can E-mail photos.
P.s cheers for the comment Geoff
