NB8B Caliper rebuild kit?

deviant · Postby **deviant** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 1:29 am

I want to rebuild my brake calipers on my 2001 NB8B.

Does anybody have the part numbers for a rebuild kit or know anywhere that I can get them super ASAP? I am racing next weekend so need to get it done!

Simon had some callipers for sale in the MXPress, you could buy those as a stop gap until you can have yours fixed then just resell them on?

At least then you won't miss any motorsport. He's SOR too.

That sounds like a plan! I think I have some NB8B discs in the shed to so somebody can buy themselves an upgrade. Will check it out when I get home.

I suffered sudden and very bad brake fade at the sprint yesterday which is odd for Carbotech XP12 pads which are badly scorched. Theory is that the caliper pistons are not retracting.

In the meantime I would still be interested to look up rebuild kits so I have some options up my sleeve...anyone?

if you are looking for brake parts then why not go to a business that supplies and or repairs brake parts? Any of the usual suspects will list what they have available. An NB is a common car.

I actually have two seal kits ib my glovebox atm I got from.abs.

I will try to remember to take pics tommorow for the part numbers.

Though as I havent fitted them there is a chance they are not the correct ones. I did specify nb8b with sport brakes.

PROTEX 210E0225

i have 2 x front kits which have all the seals.

if you urgently need them i could sell them to you for the price i paid ($50)

as i wont be at the track untill november so no rush for me.
