Re: 460 caliper

International Brake Ltd... on the web GBP 85 + vat for single pipe bit more for the double pipe.. exchange units GBP 20 credit return after receipt...it is advisable to change both if your problem is siezed pistons..and flush the system with DOT 4 + taking all the old fluid from every bleed nipple...Hydraulic oil attracts moisture from the atmosphere and should be totally changed every three years....

Re: 460 caliper

Hi Dan order "online" and pay by plastic ..delivery in 48 hours ..cuts out the middleman and the product is good... BUDWEG P/n 34800 or 34801 depending on the pipework ...looking at my last invoice GBP 88 +vat per unit + shipping... then send the old ones back for OHC discount.if you are changing them yourself look out for corroded fittings on the hoses (new hoses) and the use correct socket and breaker bar for the bolts which tightened with a high torque value.....
