WTB - Girling Front Right Brake Caliper
« on: August 24, 2010, 09:34:31 PM »
Ok so I refreshed my suspension on the 91 318is - Billy Sports, Eibach springs, new sway bar links, AKG subframe bushings, AKG diff bushing.  Things were going so well  and then I decided to put speed bleeders in all the calipers ... you know I got them from PelicanParts so they must be correct right?  Well apparently the last one I put in on the right front snapped off right at the base leaving me with a car still on jacks that needs to have it's brakes bled ... I'm hosed.

So I really need a Girling caliper for the right front (passenger side).  Can anyone help me out - cost / shipping to 98036.  If you would prefer a trade I have a few parts I've collected.  Let me know what you'd be interested in.

Thanks,

Gerta

if you got an autopart international near you, they got rebuilt calipers for 50 a piece with the old core.

JRobie - thanks.  I dont though ... If I did I might be tempted to give that a shot.

Got a full set from another forum member!  Thanks Jrobie and Desktopdave for the offers of assistance!  I think I'll clean this set up and rebuild them before putting them on the car!  Will post pictures when finished!
