![]() Just had a reply from the seller, they are the same seals and pistons so no probs there.
New question: Brakes have been unused for a couple years, sat in a hedge for a couple before that! Should i get new pistons as well as seals all in one go and fit together? |

![]() HI 2 ALL
I am looking for a caliper repair kit for my front sierra calipers. there seems to be various sizes for various models, I have been to the local factors, I have been to the ford main agent, they all say the same "cant get them" I tried e.bay, even bought some, but did not fit, are we all destined to have to buy new calipers, if anyone has been able to buy some i would really be grateful for some help, the guy at ford even gave me the part no. 6128159 I'm tearing my hair out........EDDIE |

![]() Recon calipers on ebay £36 at that price why bother servicing the old ones? Send the old ones to them and get £30 back.

![]() That's a fair point Phil but . .
That's £36 a side so £72 I think Big Red do the kits for £25 inc both sides And if those guys on the bay can refurbish them then they have to be getting the seals from somewhere so they must be available! ![]() Plus you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself, I'l be doing mine and that's part of my motivation ![]() |
