Used them the once, and the kit was wrong. The piston seals were the wrong size, so sent them back. Got my kit from Camskill in the end.

Did the camskill come as an axle set (2 callipers) as it seemed expensive just for one calliper ??

Just got an email from Camskill, turns out the price of £32.29 is for ONE CALLIPER, so an axle set actually works out loads more than what MR T is charging :-(

Oh well, see what BrakesInt come back with.

I've used these guys to rebuild some rev 3 calipers. Parts were spot on and i've done some pretty heavy track work with my motor since and they've been fine. Been on about 8 months now.
