Urgent, best place for rear calipers

[pbmr2]

Morning all,

In desperate need of 2 rear brake calipers. Was trying to rebuild all my calipers this weekend but didn't bank on the internals of the rears being cross threaded and destroyed. :facepalm:

The car is my daily and on Friday am going on a 2 week trip round europe with it. Finding new decent rear calipers is now urgent.

Who can deliver a quality part, next day delivery? Who would you buy calipers from?

Seen that Eurocarparts do calipers, are they ok? Anyone else you'd recommend?
Online ordering would be useful to try to speed things up and get it sorted today.

Please help, in a state of mild panic atm.

Yep Bigg red are quite reasonable, if yours are past it then I have many sets you can have.

Thanks.

Just had an order from bigg red, took 3 weeks to get here as the first one never turned up. A little cautious to use them again. Might not have a choice at this rate.

Someone said Brakes International, they are out of stock for the calipers I need

Eurocarparts are also out of stock.

Have you got any rev2+ rear calipers in full working order? Can you do speedy delivery? Need both rears.

My car is rev 4 UK.

OK TCB parts seem to have rebuilt ones in stock. Not too expensive either.
Will give them a call first thing in the morning, if I don't sort others out beforehand.

Checked out Mr2ben (stock but expensive), Mr2bitz didn't list the part but will call them in the morning if TCB are out of stock.

Some rebuilt rear callipers have problems with the handbrake mechanism.
Pot luck if you get ones that work for long.

I have had one that didnt work at the time of fitting so got replaced by a working one under warranty.
I have had a pair that needed adjusting many times a year (even after one of them eventually developed an identifiable fault and got replaced under warranty).
Even though those passed an mot I got fed up with them, had them taken off (kept as spares) and replaced with brand new ones from Toyota.

Hopefully I will never need rear callipers again.

I've dug mine out- they were from Big Red a while back, probably only covered 500 miles since refurb. They could do with a clean up, but are 100% functional...will wrap them up this evening
