scorcher Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Should I need to replace a caliper, am I correct in thinking this to be sourced from the Spitfire parts bin. For my 1996 SuperSprint X- flow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Canley classics do a vented kit with 4 pot ally calipers at a very reasonable price. It is alleged the discs are near identical to the AP ones sold by Caterham.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john g Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 You may get away with a strip down, clean, new seals and rebuild. Seals are available from Redline for a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 14, 2017 Member Share Posted June 14, 2017 As above. I'd overhaul, or get someone else to do that for me. And I'd do both sides.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorcher Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yes thanks all - my local garage who look after my X-flow have cleaned the assembly today and all seems well at the moment but obliged for all the information. FYI Jonathan : RCP @ Milton Common quite close to you and a really good bunch. They tell me lack of use probably caused the problem....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
