Re: Brake calliper rebuilds or new

Thanks James - will do.

They weren't actually for a Porsche they were for my sons VW fastback - they actually have a pair on the shelf ready to go too.

Re: Brake calliper rebuilds or new

Just looking at the Classiccar Automotive website and can't see any contact details as you say?

Any other good rebuilders out there?

When I saw that first listed for sale I thought what a nice car at that price with a good bit of potential too.
