mc92 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Looking for a set of Jspec small front calipers and carriers. I don't mind about the overall condition as I'm going to be replacing the seals and things anyway but no broken castings please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi, I have an old pair from my '97 RZ-S that need a good soak in EvapoRust which I could do first. Not sure about the carriers though, (sliders and bolts or the whole bracket assemblies?), as it was a few years ago that I replaced them with U.K.'s and can't remember what they looked like. They're in the shed. Whereabouts in Hertfordshire are you? I'm in Hemel Hempstead, M1 Junction 8 plus 2 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm in Royston, google maps says about 40 minutes drive. If you can find the carrier brackets I'll be interested. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, sorry for the delay, I've just given the calipers a good wire brushing and will upload some photos if I can remember how to do it in the next post. They're complete except one side is missing the steel backing plates, springs and pads that you probably don't want anyway. I'll throw in a new pair of wire pad separator springs from a MkIII.

Morpheus Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) You said you'd be replacing them but fwiw the seals all look good and the hose connector threads are clean. I plugged them with twisted kitchen towel years ago and removed it with pliers, a wire pipe cleaner and a vacuum so there shouldn't be any rust inside the cylinder bores but it would be a good idea to connect them up and force the pistons out under fluid pressure to clean up the exposed cylinder walls behind the pads where they normally bind. I can reduce them to bare metal with rust remover if you're going to paint them but they'll need to soak for a couple of days. You can't get into the corners with brushes. Maybe sandblasting would do it but there's no need with EvapoRust or Azure liquid. Anyway, message me for my address and you can pick them up whenever you like. I'm not looking for anything for them unless you're feeling generous. I've also got a set of 17" Toyota wheels that I intended to fit with winter tyres but won't get round to it. U.K. 4 pot calipers will fit inside them. Edited January 7, 2020 by Morpheus (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
