millsn Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 this seems to be a brake pad part number acc to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 this seems to be a brake pad part number acc to the site. Yerss, but there's a clue in there somewhere... I believe the other common description is that they were sourced from XR4s I did have some problems with some recon items sourced from Burton Power (see here) - but aside from the saddle-height, they were the correct items.

Willie. Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Nigel, Top marks for spotting that. Sorry for the mistake; I was racking my brain trying to work out where I'd read they were Scorpio callipers...then forgot you were after seals, not pads.

millsn Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Surprising how quickly you can turn up somethgin that will suit. Bizarrely though my local motor factor claims they cannot source the seal kit linked to here ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cornford Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have sourced Sierra parts from here before, but you need to know car & model to get to the bits you need, then having chosen rear hydraulics, click on the "associated" button to see replacement seal kits etc. Sigma SteVe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
