China Man Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I will need some for my Uk front, and the seal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 OK, someone asked how much stock pistons are, well, I bought a full set for someone on heres knackered UK calipers yesterday. Price for one front piston is £25.03 including VAT, so a full set of eight is £160.24 inc VAT Rear pistons are £20.14 including VAT each, so a full set of four are £80.56 inc VAT A full car set of new pistons is therefore a rather heady £240.80 inc VAT I hope to do a good bit better price than that for stainless ones. The customer supplied the Toyota seal kits, but I don't think they are particularly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Fronts are going to be under £20 each and rears about £18 each, maybe a tad more, they are bigger than the front pistons, so I have no idea why Toyota price them lower, there's more material in them... I am trying to source cheaper seal kits, so I can sell complete packages. I am struggling a bit there, however. Thanks for the interest everyone, hopefully the first batch will be done within 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Awaiting material, would say another week before the first batch are made, I'll keep everyone updated in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Material has arrived, I will have some ready for the end of this week, I hope Shall I supply in list order above? Does anyone need UK ones urgently?? I won't have any J-Spec ones for a little while, but they are definitely coming very soon.. Another batch of pins due this week, I ran out of stainless rod, it's surprising just how long eight pins are end to end with saw cut wastage and the odd "disaster" drilling the retaining spring clip holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
