Cortina Calipers
Hi all, I'm going to be sorting my Cortina calipers out shortly and wanted peoples opinions/suggestions as to whether to do them myself or send
them in for exchange or remanufacture...?
Any company suggestions will be ideal. I have looked through Bigred, any dealings?
Thanks
Rich

We reconned ours with a seal kit, some caliper paint and a wire brush atatchment for the angle grinder (search for "the tool" .
I wouldn't do it again, I've seen how nice BigRed calipers look and IMHO they're worth every penny

I refurbished mine, but the seals went 2 days before IVA.
Couldn't get a kit in time.
Rally design got me a pair next day delivery, no exchange

just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....

Sorry, that might not have been clear - that would mean you can pick up a pair for 69.00 (basic option). Not sure about VAT & Del.
