i went to a local shop to get some overhaul kits for my sierra calipers the kit consists of a rubber dust shroud, and a rubber seal for the cylinder - chap said £14 per set !! - i said no thanks !!

am i being silly or is he taking the P. would apreciate if anyone has any ideas for cheap sierra parts - i am also looking for a full set of discs (4), and pads all round.

Sounds silly, but it is the going rate, you should get a set of front discs for about £20, set of cooking pads for £10. Who told you this was going to be cheap other than Uncle Ron?, £250 - who was he trying to kid?

Just seemed like a lot of dosh for about an ounce of rubber ! - i might leave the old ones in as they werent leaking, and upgrade to some decent callipers later in the day !!

thanks for the info though - am looking on e bay now for discs at about that price.

You could try a Ford dealership. Once you've been there you'll prolly quite like to spend £28 at a motor factor.

Can they give the care to reconditioning that you can? My front calipers came from a cortina built in 1981, never touched in its lifetime, I stripped them down and fitted a recon kit from GTS, but they probably never needed it.
