Anybody Have a pair of Second Hand Rear Brake Calipers ?

Hi,

Anybody have a second hand pair of rear Brake calipers for a Lotus Elan Plus 2 knocking about?

Thanks,
Dave.

Hens teeth and expensive when they do come up David I'm afraid. Equally as expensive to reburbish too as I have just discovered to my cost!

...there's a restored pair on Ebay at the moment which you have probably seen?

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, they seem to be Gold dust to find let alone buy! OMG

Best,
Dave.

That's a big ask for the ones on ebay, but as Jono suggested I don't think you'll do much better buying an old set (unless you get a real deal) and having them redone.

I'm sure I have a pair. They are in need of a full refurb from the likes of classicar. The last set I had done there came back as new, but at a cost, which I can't recall.
The ones I have are from New Zealand. I paid to transport them after purchasing them. They will not be a bargain.
PM me if you are feeling brave.

Vince Hayden was selling a 'NOS' pair a few months ago for £750.

I've done my own but I spent over £300 on parts alone (pistons, seals, new hangers for the handbrake mech etc) so I would not be surpised if you don't get much change out of £500 for Classicar Auto to restore a pair - they do a beautiful job mind

Ye gods, £895 for the pair?

Only fitted to the Elan, unlike the front callipers which were on the Herald.

Rarity value, I guess.

Fwiw, Classicar automotive did a great job on my rear callipers for not much more than it would have cost me to do myself.
