Rear Sierra Calipers... or better alternatives...
Noticed my OSR caliper is leaking, but not from the flexi hose... they've seen better days to be honest...
Anyone got any direct replacements, or better alternatives?
Thanks

I reckon the focus ones are worth a look and try the slider appears to be the same as the sierra one
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Keep in mind VW callipers are smaller bore giving less rear braking force.

I wouldn't really mind direct Sierra replacements for the time being

But they sit on a bigger disc so probably not much in it. They produce enough force to stop my car on their own which well, as I found out when my
front m/c failed while driving!
They also are much much lighter.

how about sorting the caliper yourself ?
bigg red sell the seal kit for £22 (and pistons, slide pins etc if needed) - the old sierra haynes manual tells you how to strip and rebuild them...

But if you need guide pins and a piston it works out cheaper to buy a exchange calliper.
