for future reference :):):)

problem solved - sat at work pondering spending £80 a side on caliper frames as VAG only sell the slider pins with the frame :censored:

remembered i'd seen the LUCAS type caliper elsewhere - quick sarnie/ciggie and a drink and VOILA :idea:

Ford Granada H reg rear calipers -as fitted on my grasstracker - quick call to a mate at FORD dealers to find that they do them in kits (2 pins only) for about £8 each - ask for a delivery to verify and strike me down with a feather :thumbup: SORTED

i'll post teh part number up as soon i sort me invoice out

Future reference for 256/280mm fronts and rear style LUCAS calipers

WHEN the sliders jam and shear off DONT buy new frames - pop to ya local FORD dealer and order - F******



part number adding later

just a recap again, are these the slider pins you need to replace anyway?

just seen this - sorry

not 'have' to as such if originals are clean greased and smooth sliding ok but as they are common for siezing up anyway and the VAG ones only come with the complete frame assy it's a cheaper easier way to replace em
