Thinking of trying the AP 2 pot calipers

As we have to replece or rebuild the front calipers on this 75th and looking through the options these new Alloy AP 2 piston calipers look to be a good buy.



I phoned Bigg Red but it seems they are not really interested in doing MGF calipers as their quote was £250 for a set of frotn and rears and that IS WITH their set discount or "just" £130 to recondition the fronts. Looking around this is more than other refurbishment and reconditioning firms so obviously Bigg Red is out of the equation.



One can purchased a reconditioned pair of front calipers off ebay for £94.90 then get a bit back when you send in your old calipers which makes this quite a bit cheaper than Bigg Red one must agree.



However then we come to the new alloy AP 2 pot (piston) calipers offered by several sellers including MG Mania and these new calipers are being offered from between £90-£120 depending on which site and to which vendor one looks too. Now as we aslo need new discs then this item does not influence the decision by much as although the 3044mm Discs cost a little more it.s not really a largeamount in price differecne and depending on where one shops there can be no or even a positive difference in favour or the 304's. ECP currently has Pagid discs for the AP's on offer in their ebay shop I see.



Am just awaiting confirmation that the disc pads are indeed available before making the final decision. As after all cost wise is seems to make sense!
