Give Shaftec a look www.shaftec.co.uk

They take your current Callipers as part exchange and I found the price reasonable.

Where are you based? You might be able to get them through a motor factor if shaftec don’t sell direct to the public

On the subject of brake calipers, I’ve had my ‘5’ for 3 1/2 years now and it’s never let me down, except having to have 3 new (recon) calipers and I’m pretty sure another one is starting to go now.

I was considering looking at ‘named’ alternatives of (hopefully) a better quality, such as Brembo.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
