...are the front and rear ones the same or different?

Blinking flippity heck! Thank Jay, guess I`m just going to have to collect another BX (strictly spares only as too far gone to save) then.
Or maybe not..........

Hey Cav, this must be a wind up question.......yes? :?

The number of BX's youv'e bought, saved, sold or stripped must have left you with inside-out knowledge of them. :D :D

I hope this doesn't mean you've bought a brand new rear one from M&M for the estate. :?

just to point out billys softness, he himself took both rear and front brake calipers off the estate last weekend (albeit under supervision!), silly boy there miles different!



Why do you ask, what have you broken this time?

Didn`t get the rears Vanny, that was the legs :P
Ken, not for the estate (now with added MOT) but someone`s asking me for some rear calipers on eBay and I wanted to check first. I will have some somewhere, in fact I`ve probably got a couple of sets kicking about.


:idea: *EDIT* You might be right actually Vanny, can you remember if I got the rear calipers off? Sleepy, perhaps you recall too?

M & M engineering (where you got the front caliper from) also had a rear set, I think he wanted £20 each for them brand new.

Billy, we took the rears off as well! 17mm nuts then prised off the pipes, you'd have an interesting job getting the arms off without (and we got both sides), thinking about it they looked pretty good condition! You put them in the same car boot as everything else.

M&M Engineering should give the forum a list of bits they've got. I'm sure they'd be able to have a right good clearout!

Anyhow Jon`s going to start his own BX Club shop (I think) and I`d rather buy off him!
