914 nearside rear caliper needed

kevster · Post by **kevster** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 4:55 pm

the 914 failed the mot today but not too bad - mostly small stuff but the nearside caliper failed. Anyone got a spare caliper? (74 2.0).

If not i'll trawl the forums as I know there has been a few postings on this, I think theres somewhere up north that does exchanges. It looks like it isnt that old but obviously not brilliant quality.

(sorry for the double posting..

)

Why not have a 'recon and return' done on your original? I am just having all mine done for the 911 - very reasonable prices, will let you have the number if you wish

Regards

if you could Stu - i need a quick turnaround for the re-test so it may notbe possible but worth a try - ta

Got a couple of numbers of companies who do them - the one I am using is R and J Ltd. - 01302 890777 , usually back following day.

The other one is a company called Andrew Page ltd. - got a number of depots , mainly northern, worth a call - 01302 886611

i ended up ordering one from roger bray as although a bit expensive instead of rebuilding mine they send me a recon one first and i can send mine back for exchange, im on a tight timescale. I dont really want my one back as its got a dodgy handbrake mech and spring.

Andrew page co were helpful though and if i wasnt in a hurry would probably have used them.

thanks for the info..

Just Interested in what price did Andrew Page quoted you and was it outright or exchange?

Cheers

he quoted me £105 exchange - I think that was to rebuild mine but turnaround was quite quick.

The price they quoted me was four a recon and return of my old caliper- 48 hour turn round usually-includes piston seals if required
