M16 BRAKE CALIPERS
Has anyone had any dealings with www.fordcarparts.co.uk website?
I've seen some calipers on sale which i'm pretty sure are M16 type:
http://www.fordcarparts.co.uk/p1705349/FORD-ESCORT-Mk-II-1.3-Petrol-1979-1980-Brake-Caliper/product_info.html
Seems to cross reference ok from all the OE numbers.
Price seems too good which usually means bad news with me!
Oh and if it is a good deal then let me buy mine before grabbing all the stock please! 
Cheers

I've had a good look at the site now - and I'm not sure of something......they give two `model numbers' for the calipers ,
regardless of engine size - CA138 and CA138R
No confirmation in the description of left or right - does anyone agree that those twp may be the numbers for left and right ?

I checked the OE numbers on the cross reference and the numbers you quoted are for left and right.
I have ordered a pair and a set of Ferodo FDB167 pads.
The whole lot with delivery and VAT came to £80. Im expecting an email to say they also need a surcharge at some point as the sister website
(www.wanapart.co.uk) mentions the surcharge. Still a good price and i have calipers to return so am happy which ever way.
The next best price i have found so far was Andrew Page factors at £44 each plus surcharge.
I will report back when (if) they arrive.

I had an email yesterday to say that the webpage should have put the surcharge on but didin't - would i be kind enough to post my calipers back
anyway.
I'm still happy at £30 each inc VAT, all my local factors wanted £44 and the chepest on the bay was about £40 but only for left side!
