If you can get all 4 done for that price or less then I'm in as well.

Looks like we have started a list
Not a problem
If we can get to 10 then I will get a batch machined up and hard anodised as this number will get past the minimum order level at the anodisers

I will finalise the price once I have sorted out the machining cost

Bob,

Have you seen my PM?

I have found site that has these as a repair item cost is $27.79 + shipping and no doubt the import duty/tax
These are a Dorman item
Not totally sure if they are the anodised version but the picture could be black and white but the bolts are the same as those supplied with the Dorman calipers and due to the issues that the US had with this caliper I see no reason to doubt that they are anodised

As they come with the seals and are for both side I am thinking this may be a better option than making them!

To this end I do not mind making a bulk order e.g. 5 or 10 sets as it will save on shipping for the UK and then post on to who ever wants them
Cost delivered should be in the order of £26.00

let me know

[Monty]

WoW, thats a great price and looks like it`ll do both calipers

The shape of the pins also look the same as the doormans as the stock ones are full cylinder.

I`m in

If you're suggesting that they'll work with the OEM calipers then you've just built a bandwagon, on to which this dude's a-jumpin'.

The parts from the Dorman caliper are interchangeable with the original calipers so these should fit just fine

Just let me know if you're not 'in' guys.

[bobbrown]

It gets better

The caliper repair kit is £3.50 + delivery and import duty

In fact the delivery far exceeds the cost of the item hence the reason for a bulk buy

[bobbrown]

And even the piston @ £18.12 + the usual left and right

Price comparison
you have factor in delivery caost to the US option
S J price then From US
REAR SEAL KIT 17.25 each $6.83 each
REAR SLIDING PIN KIT 18.50 each $27.79 axle set
REAR CALIPER PISTON 42.50 each $35.79 each
