Rear Caliper Rebuild

[mad.matt]

Hi Guys,

I am going for the RX7 FD calipers for the front of my build and the standard AE86 calipers on the rear.

The RX7s came with a Mazda rebuild kit but I'm not sure Toyota would supply such a kit anymore!

Can anyone recommend OR KNOW where I can find a pair of rebuild kits that are good quality?

Many Thanks,
Matt

For the RX7?

Last time I checked the rebuild kits are still available. I'm out and about right now so can't check the part numbers

No no, already bought them with a kit so I'm sorted there

Cheers Bean! I wouldn't have thought they would still produce it, I'll do some digging

PERFECT! Arigato ^_^
You wouldn't happen to have the part number for the L/R handbrake cables while we are here do you?

Top tip !
Use only the rubber grease supplied in the kit !
Matt, are you going to do the handbrake mechanism too ?
If you are and you are in the U.K I could send you the special nut required to hold down a spring in the caliper. It is actually part of an old brake piston so you could make one yourself if you have an old AE86 rear caliper piston.

What do you mean about the handbrake mech? I'll be replacing the cables etc

I will either be sending them away to be done and high temp powdercoated or MIGHT tackle it myself. Just wanting it to be as near as new mechanicals as I can!

I am indeed in the UK, anything that would help would be appreciated!
