Running gear refurbishment.

Who can refurb Granada Mk3 calipers? Any websites / contact details of recommended companies.

Thanks

Try ringing Horsham brake services in Horsham.
They gave me a price of around 30 quid a side exchange on sierra calipers.





You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

I got mine exchanged at the local motorfactors up here (Pentland)
at the time I think they were the same price as big red, but no postage costs obviously

I know thats not much help to you though


BTW - Some places don't list prices for granada calipers (at least not online anyway)

but if they are off the normal Granada/ Scorpio (ie not Cossie 24v) with the 260mm discs,
then they should just be the same calipers as the V6, 4x4 or ABS Sierra's
