Calipers

[SprintMWU773V]

Seem to be plenty of Princess Calipers on at the moment, thought they were as rare as rocking horse doo doo?<br>

Think they're as rare as everyone thinks they are. They're useless though, wee fluid everywhere like there's no tomorrow.<br>
<br>
UL now make 'proper' calipers that can be used in place of Princess ones, nice aluminium ones...<br>

Quite expensive I would have thought, probably more than a complete car.<br>

I guess for 240 quid a pair you could justify it as being expensive, but I know which I'd rather have <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

They tend to go for £180 a pair on ebay. An extra £60 and you can get the Hi-Spec ones. I know what I'd go for.<br>
<br>
Princess ones are Ok for road use but do a few laps on a track-day and you will find owners looking underneath their car wondering why brake fluid is pissing out of them. Seen it a few times. There is a Volvo cast 4-pot that does the same job as well as the Princess ones but I can't remember what model. 245? Anyone?<br>

Well, I'm pleased to say that I didn't pay £180 for them, although I did pay slightly more than I got for them.<br>

Volvo 240 series are a common swap on Manta's this allows use of Carlton vented disks, though can't remember diameter's etc.<br>
Sorry Scot!
