markjbutler Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 big red charged me £330 for all four including shipping back, cannot fault the work and the brake feel is way better, must of needed a good service, now all as new, so should hold up for a good while now. Was that the polymer coating? Haven't sent the email off yet been tb testing cows in the rain all day. Joy! However have managed to get the pistons out of the knackered caliper using their process guide so may just do it myself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J03 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 B*stard! Just when I'd decided against it, this is now making me want to go with the GT4 brake conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find me a pic of a GT4 caliper with the wheel off then not a prob mate, unless you have a pic of your motor at roughly the same angle as RazorJack's?

Serratia Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Cheers razor, you can see why I'm interested I've got the same st205 calipers to go on mine and can't decide on black calipers with yellow writing or vice versa. Razor have you got any pics from a distance too? Could you use that new pic Joe? Cheers fellas. Edited January 25, 2012 by Serratia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
