I want to get a pair of sierra rear and cortina front calipers rebuilt. Any suggestions?

Find your nearest reliable car spares shop and get some factory reconditioned units on an exchange basis.

Far cheaper than paying for a recon job on your own items, and you'll get 12 months warranty as well.

Sierra/Granada rear calipers are expensive to recon,i was quoted £57 for seal/piston kit from FORDS and thats without VAT.
I found this company though and thought it was a fair price considering http://www.rmcarspares.co.uk/

Also for cortina repair kits http://www.gtscougar.freeserve.co.uk/locost.htm

Collecting re-con Cortina calipers today -
£32+vat each ---on exchange basis from local motor factors company

Spoke to the guy at the addresss suggested above, yesterday, re: seal kit at £18 and he was really helpful , even suggesting that it may be better to buy recon calipers for a Cortina hub as there is likely to be probs with the old pistons --also feeling lazy and couldn't be bothered to continue cleaning old calipers

I was browsing Lolocosts web site last week and found a Sierra brake package for about £75. It included a pair of new calipers, 2 brake disks (solid not vented) and a pair of flexi pipes.
I just tried their web site again to check details but the site is down at the moment. Check for yourselves, just incase my memory is doing tricks.

I bought the package off lolocost and i.m very pleased with them at that price.always have a look at lolocost at the shows and bear quality and prices in mind As I've said before a motor factor friend of mine ordered a load of them cos at them prices the disks were extra proffit

Thanks for that Tony. I'm off to Exeter next month so I'm hoping that Lolocost will be selling their wares at the show. I did notice though that the disks are solid, whereas the ones off my donor are vented. Will that make a difference seeing as the Indy is so much lighter than a Sierra?

a lot of people on hear dont like lolo but ive nothing but praise v good.
