rear calipers needed

[stag76]

hi,ive not been on site for a while.

ive picked up a 90 reg mx5 mk1,think i need calipers as the rears are not there ,i kinda knew that,brake pipes are pinched off. so i need 2 rear calipers reasonable quickly as i just want to get it drivable so i can move it round. and i dont want to get new ones as i dont know what im going to do with it yet,on uk reg,and no v5 book.

so let me know what you have,and ill take them.

hi lads,yes autocheck would have them,but he is very dear for stuff,he wants 75e each ive heard.

yes i knew when i bought the car the chap told me he had 'capped' the rear metal lines.

well he had 2 cheap pound shop vice grips crushing the rear flexy pipes ! thank got i made it home,big fluid loss,and as you all know,no handbrake .

yes,just want 2 ok calipers,for ok money,just so i can move it around a bit. thanks jay

hi we can do the 1.8 for 60e and 1.6 for 50e the 1.8 calipers are very hard to get thats why there more expensive

For anyone looking for 1.8 calipers and can't find them, the rear calipers for the 1.6 and the 1.8 are the same its the caliper brackets that move them outward a little more.
The fronts are different.
I've used the 1.8 Sport calipers on my 1.6, just needed the bracket, you then swop the 1.8 calipers over side to side to fit them (use the front left 1.8 caliper on the front right hand side and front right caliper on the left hand side).
