Hi Carlosos I have set of carriers available

325mm Front
294mm Rear

Carriers are hard to come by …I would buy new Callipers which are reasonably cheap.

Delivery included
£115 delivery included

Or complete with disks and pads (which I'd probably not trust

) for £100 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256855861903

When you buy used Callipers…they almost always need refresh of piston / seal / nipple

Yeah, I wouldn't trust them (and the cheap ones do call out needing a rebuild), but just another option if OP is on a budget.

Yours are in much better condition, so are definitely the easier option!

Send them off and they’ll be like these…

May I please enquire to the cost of coating carriers and calipers? I painted mine with Hammerite (although I did cause myself some serious problems last year

).

Sure, slight thread hijack but relevant.

I just paid bcs £365 for 4x calipers and carriers to be completely rebuilt, new pistons, nipples,,blasted and painted. Lifetime warranty.
Very pleased with the results.

Front set came w disc, pads, C&C on here. £150

Thanks for the offer of these. I’m only really after the fronts but if rears come then so be it. Other than that they do seem a bit pricey.

What would you take for just the fronts?

Price reflects rarity/availability but I will PM you .
