Anyone who is currently looking for rear calliper stuff, I have just had an email from Rockauto with their latest offers (wholesaler closeout).....

Nugeon rear callipers for £28.62 each..... (not much of a saving over the usual list price, but they ARE in stock at the moment).

Rear calliper slider dust boots (like Jonathan wanted, and has bought)..... just 32p a set of 8, with 2 of the pad clips!

Various sets of rear pads.... different prices, but a 'good' set for under a fiver is a bargain

Not much of interest for the Impulse, except maybe an O2 sensor (Bosch) for £19.28........

To give you a clue, a pair of callipers, a set of slider boots (not needed if you are getting callipers, but at that price, worth getting for the future), a set of pads and an O2 sensor, delivered to UK (before the Trump Tariffs start to hit!) with the 5% discount will (hopefully) arrive next Tuesday for a total outlay of under £130.

I don't really need any of it, but as their inventory for our cars gets smaller every time I look, it makes sense to me to have (yet another) set in stock.

i already have spare sensors and a set of rear calipers

the bottom half of the order is what i would be buying. but postage wouldnt make those viable.

i guess its too late to latch to the package for delivery at CC
(pinky wont be happy, im already 10 or 20 in debt for the camping deposit)

Sorry Joao, I went on to the website to see if I could add to the order, but it was too late as the order was 'awaiting collection' at the warehouse.....

I could have put extra pads and rubbers on without a problem, but not anything too expensive as it would put it over the limit for paying duty (and then the handling fees on top). This was part of the reason I didn't try to organise a "mini group buy" as it bumps up the unit costs to such an extent that it isn't worth the saving on shipping (plus the inconvenience).

I ordered some "spares" from RA on the 28/3 which they split into two packages.
One package go delivered on the 31/3, but the 2nd package has been waiting for customs clearance since 2/4
I have been in contact with Fed ex, and they informed me that everything is in order, it's just one of those things
and I would just have to wait

All the bits ready for assembly then to be shelved; sadly not needed + might be offered for sale (New RA pads not shown)

PeterB gave me a good tip - assemble with brake grease since lubing with dot4 risks hygroscoptic rusting if they aren't used straight away...

All done...grateful thanks to those really good LEC video subscribers and all the excellent advice made available
