P38A Britpart brake flexi

Hi all Just a quick one before i order some are they ok or are they to be avoided at all costs, thanks.

Personally, i would think nobody would dare sell sub standard critical safety parts

Brit part would not risk selling sub standard brake parts. Possibly they will have a shorter life but I doubt it.

Hope they are ok cos I just ordered some. Was told I Cant get original as JLR are shut .

They should be OK as they don't have a bearing or move.

I used bp ones on my 110 but be aware that mine didn't come with the nuts, don't know how yours fix.?

I've had Britpart brake calipers on mine for 5 years now. No issues.

I also have Britpart front brake calipers,

Thanks every one it is what i though they must be ok so will be ordering a complete set, i was going to go for a braided set as they work out cheaper butt they dont come with all the brackets unlike the BP ones as i am going to the trouble of all new bolts and cleaning and painting, new brackets it is
Thanks again

why not new seals in your calipers ,about £3 each side I stuck mine in an electrolysis bath for 24 hrs, they came up like new and the pistons were unworn so I re sealed them

With a new caliper at about £25, personally I don't think it's worth messing about trying to renovate an old caliper. I like to be sure my brakes work.

Each to their own, i prefer to repair not replace where possible

Bike parts have always been a rip off.
I remember around 1979 getting my first car (Austin 1300 1972) and going to Halfords for service stuff and being shocked how cheap air, oil filters, sparkplugs and brakepads were compared to the RD250c I had at the time. Around 1/4 of the price. Shocked again when I needed 4 tyres (£24 remoulds £6 each fitted!) £27 for a rear tyre for the bike.

The calipers and discs were changed a few years ago and are still nice but might get a coat of paint just got to choose the colour
i have ordered pads front &rear slide pins f&r all new bolts for calipers and mounts and the six flexi pipes so work will commence as soon as they arrive.

Sure I've got a set of new brake blocks on my bike in the garage,haven't been out on it since the farmer cut his blackthorn hedge,all the cuttings went on the cycle path. I got 11 punctures in the front tyre and 17 in the rear!! Walked half a mile back for the Classic, threw it in the back and its hung in the garage since.
