Calipers normally come complete do they not? If not you need to replace the slider pins too.

Not what I would call complete, you would need the sliders with that.
The mounting part of the caliper is missing. Looks like a good deal though.

I would always replace the sliders as they are the bit that give most trouble, the mounting part is just a big lump of metal.

not a p38 I know but I just changed all discs and calipers on my defender using the cheapo britpart ones, and I've gotta say Im impressed,they all fitted well and fingers crossed work as they should, I cheated a little though, I fitted proper make pads, because there are only so many times you can play Russian roulette without blowing your brains out

Well I can't say with 100% but this is generally how it is done. When cars are younger you generally have to exchange things like callipers, alts. etc. they are returned to the manufacturer or other companies that refurbish and put back into circulation .
I would think that Brit part have an agreement with such a manufacturer as the cost of tooling for such low demand items would be high. Could well be done in china as you say.

Well it's a possibility I concede, however I would at lease give a +1 on the Brit part ones being a very good fit with no probs when I put them on my FL.

Hi, I have recently replaced both front calipers with britpart items and they have been spot on, no problems at all.

Nothing has changed, if you read my post I merely said that recent posts had said they were OK. An inflexible approach to life helps no one, if several people have had a good experience with a particular part, I see no harm in saying so, just as I say when a part /supplier proves to be crap.12th-April-2013, 12:42
What changed?
