yes they will fit any classic, and are a very very popular upgrade for the older classics as they come with 2 pots ;-)

I'm unsure of their price to be honest, if you'd rather you can pm me an offer etc.

i know a set in nowhere near as good condition sold for around £200 the other week and that was with shot discs.

Fitting wise these are a piece of p!55 too fit.

if you are upgrading the older classic front calipers too these i believe that they are a direct bolt on job ;-)

The calipers come complete with everything you require too fit, the only thing you will need to buy (if fitting yourself) is a bottle of brake fluid ;-)

Firstly Chap... many thanks for airing your dirty laundry in public without trying to contact me prior to this (Private Message, Email...) people do change company mobile phone numbers!!

Secondly it's fairly unlikely that the brake calipers would of had the paint coming off them due too the fact that i plugged up the holes after them being removed from the car (with the bungs provided with my new calipers), i wrapped them in tissue too protect the paint finish, then wrapped them individually in bubble wrap and then wrapped a plastic bag around each caliper and placed in box and padded them out with more than enough bubble wrap.

The calipers were not filthy, but were literally boxed up and sent too you from the garage that the work was being carried out at because you where in such a "rush" for the calipers for them to be fitted prior too a meet.
therefore i quickly gave the calipers a wipe over with a damp rag, and left them assembled as they where removed.

And with regards too the brake pads, they where sent by royal mail 2 days after your brake calipers were sent...

Nice too of known that i wasted nearly an hour trying too give you some decent and honest advice....

well i tryed ur mobile plenty of times usually the best way to get hold of some 1 as iv had no sign of the brake pads. And im hardly going to make up the fact they were soaked in brake fluid causing paint to come of and tissue to bond to calipers. i paid good money for them an have tried conntacting u so of course im going to right summit on here if im not happy!!

Well my only assumption can be that the bungs which where placed in the brake pipe hole on the calipers must have dislodged in transit... as i now that the calipers where drained of fluid when removed (i know as i drained them) and then i placed the bungs that came with my new calipers into the old ones prior too wrapping and sending them.

You certainly have not tried too contact me adequately (that is my opinion, if i was unhappy with something and wanted too get hold of somebody on here i would of tried to send them a pm etc...)

And to leave a negative message on here over a month after purchasing the goods in my opinion is not ideal....and is also very misleading.

I can't be held responsible for the goods getting damaged in transit, the goods where packaged more than well enough, but seeing as you have left it so late to raise a concern (over a month) there is no way of resolving the situation amicably on both sides. if you would of tried to contact me immediately then i could of sorted something out with the courier company as it clearly is down to the way that the goods have been handled in transit, NOT due to goods being described incorrectly etc.
