Feedback on Casarva..
scoop - 1/7/08 at 03:18 PM

I bought some sierra upright front cycle wing supports from Casarva who appear to be only Ebay based. Im running all Sierra front including calipers and vented discs. They didnt fit, as they hit the brake pipe, so emailed him. He said he couldnt understand this as made on jig and no problems with hundreds of others but then nothing for a week.
Not happy so from my point of view dont touch him.
I see however that he has had time to put more of them on Ebay.

Don't take this the wrong way but are you sure your fitting them right. I had the same problem with my MK ones till i looked at the pics on here.

Cheers

Personally I've had no probs with Matts stuff and have always found his replies quick and helpful.
You say nothing for a week. Have you got back to him after his response ? Maybe he's now
waiting furthur from you.

Are you using 240mm vented discs? My 240 calipers were tight so I'd imagine the 260 ones might not fit.

I wouldnt post anything on here im not sure of
Yes i replied to him and have waited a week.
The discs are 240mm vented.
As far as i can see there is only one way to fit these.
Any pics of these fitted would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same prob with mk ones and think the problem lies with the calipers themselves and not the brackets. Ended up making some short extension pieces if i get a chance i will post a pic.

I can play with them and make them fit but i dont feel that i should have to.
Thanks for the offer of the photo though

post a photo of your problem.

there's more than one way they can be forced to fit.

He sent me some which were exactly the same as the ones i had already fitted on there and they were fine.
I sold them to someone else on here who has reported no problems.....

That was me Charlie, No problem with the stays but as i say i think the prob lies with the calipers.
