Used brake parts - calipers

[hywy61]

Hello

I was looking for some slightly used calipers and was wondering if anyone had experience with Roverlandparts.com?

They have DII calipers for $85 a piece.

Atlantic British charges $150 a piece for new ones.

Depends on mileage. Will need to be flushed and for safety install new seals.

I hope those are brand new at that price. I'd never buy a used caliper.


You can get rebuilt for about $65 each but the core charge is spendy and the hassle of sending them back for the core charge.

I'd never buy a used caliper.

Even if it is a caliper from a Classic with stainless, non-chromed, pistons?
(not that it is in any way relevant to the OP's question)

 

[JohnB]

Well I might buy those or maybe some aluminum Brembo calipers.
But I'd rebuild and inspect whatever I got which is just a messy pile of joy with brake fluid and flying pistons letting go with a pop and "oh shit".

Rockauto has reman for $74 including a $30 core.....

just make sure you get the right part in the box when you receive it.

I am thinking it might just be better to buy new.......

Any other sites? Brembo didn't have Land Rover as an option.

Anyone have experience with Cardone ?

Reman. but look like they have the caliper pins etc...

 

[rover4x4]

maybe a land rover isnt for you

I have a pair of the 04 style for 60.00 delivered if interested.

or 130.00 for a remmaned pair no core delivered.

 

[hywy61]

Thanks. I have a 2000 DII so i don't know if those are the same?

 

[ptschram]

I can get new ones as wel, but don't wanna step on Will's toes.

That said, do YOU want other cars on the road with used brake parts?

 

[D Chapman]

....but don't wanna step on Will's toes.

You just did.

 

[ptschram]

You just did.

What the fuck did I do to attract your ire?

I thought we were friends, but now, you don't miss an opportunity to prove what an asshole you are

 

[D Chapman]

I can still see your posts on FB.

 

[ptschram]

I can still see your posts on FB.

So? You don't like it when I ask guys if they are channeling their inner Chapman?

I must have really done something bad to piss you off this much for you to go to such lengths to stalk me and look at my facebook posts.

 

[D Chapman]

Stalk you? Don't flatter yourself.

 

[ptschram]

You were the one who rather than answer my question emphasized your being able to see my posts as if that was supposed to be an explanation for why you've decided to fuck with me.

 

[hywy61]

Hey Chapman. Go somewhere else. The whole point of this forum is to help people not listen to your personal gripes.

PTSCRAM has always been helpful on this forum and I value his opinion. Thanks.
