RoS Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hey there, Just wondering if anyone can help me out here. I just fitted new front break pads to my Escort RS only to find that the piston had siezed, now removed. The piston was pitted and rusted. Any ideas on where I could get a cheap one without having to replace the calliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on where I could get a cheap one without having to replace the calliper. I am not sure if you can. I know you can recon ones, on a exchange basis. Probaly cheapest option Edited August 14, 2007 by mexico_16v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New seals and pistons for both side's came to 70 quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford themselves....although possible cheaper to get another set of calipers. BUT you could find those calipers need refurbing too, even if they come from a reputable RS breaker. grab a yellow pages and take a look or google "brake specialists" or "brake refurb" apparently in belfast, CLICKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
