Spot handbrake calipers
Anyone fitted the small handbrake calipers at the rear from the likes of rally design?
Or are there better handbrake only calipers out there?
Thanks

I fitted the Hydra OEM that under investigation turned out to be VW Passat. The RD ones are not refurb but oem manufacture. They are good light weight
callipers but only suitable for 15" wheels, some have fitted to 14" wheels with them but had to file/grind the cooling fins!

The VW Golf MK 4 callipers are smaller (but the same shape as the Passat ones so be careful) and if you have a hub carrier that will take them like a
Westfield (standard alloy part) then that is a way forward.
The Ford Cosworth calipers, although steel are another small caliper. That is what is fitted to my current Westfield.
I don't know what anyone does for 13" wheels, I have never tried them on my Westfield.
