Finding parts for a front brake
caliper upgrade
For the restoration of his V8 Roadster, Peter Nixon decided
to fit a pair of refurbished Austin Princess 4 pot calipers
converted to a singe feed. He found Clive Wheatley no longer
does the Metric - UNF braided hoses, so he felt he would need
to have them made up for the front - the problem is knowing
what overall length to make them. He found a website which suggested
BGC Motorsport for Princess-MGB metric - imperial braided hoses.
He gave them a call and they said they can make a pair.
Later another member, Ralph Hardwick, also carrying out a V8
Roadster restoration mentioned a parts supplier now sells a
complete RV8 front brake set up including a pair of reproduction
RV8 four-pot calipers and stainless steel braided brake hoses.
