You could try Hi-Spec brakes in Dartford. They can be quite busy as well, but they can do this sort of work. You would need to send them the caliper, and hub assembly though, which might be a bit inconvenient.

Try East of Scotland engineering,they tried to convert our Opel corsa rally car to Brembo 6 pot calipers but the wheels were too wee,so we opted for Wilwood 4 pots they fitted spot on!!

Ask for Douglas,sorry i dont have a phone number but they are in Edinburgh.

Hi Foz,

Closer to home try Agra Engineering in Dundee - 01382 229333 http://www.agra-eng.co.uk/ (sorry can't remember the link thing) they also have a branch in Banff - 01261 812156, but have never used that branch, so can't comment. Dougie at East of Scotland in Sighthill is also a good guy, 0131 458 5456 http://www.wose.co.uk/ (for their west coast branch)

Hope that helps,

Gerry
