Calliper Carrier
peteday_uk@btinternet.com - 19/1/09 at 11:10 PM

Just bought my Sierra rear brakes. Didn't know I would need carriers for the callipers. Can any one tell me where the best place to get these from will be, and what sort of price I should expect to pay.

Thanks
Pete.

Sierra/Granada in a breakers yard. Cost = peanuts.

as above - and keep your eyes open while your there, you might get lucky

I went looking for 1 carrier in the local srapie and found it in 5 mins (on a granada)
then on the way out I found another granada that had just been scraped with a pair of brand new calipers and carriers on it (new, not recon's, they must have been fitted about week before it was scraped ) - I got the lot for ~£40 and sold on what I didn't need
