Rear caliper piston diameter?
Hi,
Anybody knows the diameter of the piston in the rear brake caliper for the 1.8 NASP cars? Need to source a repair kit. |

I couldn't be chewed messing on cleaning up the rusty old caliper, especially as the bleed screw had been snapped off by a previous owner, so I bought one of these
LINK What is not to like?, a five year guarantee, a direct fit, and shiny plating Alf |

I see it so often that it's annoying, Arctic frequently posts about good deals on eBay, I have a look at the typically genuine Unipart spares and of course ... won't post abroad. Don't mind paying the extra stamps but not even considered. Regards |

But from the link I sent, there are part numbers listed for the Budweg products. With this, you and Bienet should be able to find somewhere relatively local (Budweg are a Danish company). The Budweg caliper I bought a few years ago, was identical to the original, including the stamped numbering on the body. Brakes Int when I got mine, supplied the Budweg 190 calipers new for £75 each and the rears for the diesel (same as the rears on a 1.8) again new for £65 per pair! I was kicking myself, as I could have bought all four for roughly what I paid for second hand, and what it cost me to refurbish myself (4x rebuild kits with pistons, sandblasting, paint)

Thanks for your replies
As this is a low cost project, replacing the caliper is the last solution. I have rebuilt several calipers using new seals. A dismantling, cleanup and assembly is often what it takes to make it work properly again, often without replacing the seals if these are not damaged. Could only be done if there is no severe corrosion on the piston but these are also available separately. I got the seal kit make "Fren part" from a local supplier for 75NOK (approx 6.25GBP), so just waiting for the mailman to com with this one + LH control arm + bush. Making progress |
