  1. Just done the rear calipers on my 1990 90 20v. Brake Engineering do exchange calipers from their factory in Wrexham but will not deal direct with Joe Public, you have to go via a parts factor. if you email them, they will point you in the right direction. Excellent service and will not break even your bank! Hope that helps. Chris
  2. Reconditioned calipers and new discs/pads obtained from TRW / Brake Engineering (now owned by ZF of gearbox fame) via Motor Parts Direct, a parts factor in Tunbridge Wells. Both companies have bent over backwards to help with this project and a previous one to get new calipers for my 1965 Volvo Amazon. The Audi is being recommissioned for a trip to Spain in September; rear brakes are the biggest job but it will need a cambelt and I suspect a new radiator as the aluminium core has sprung a leak even though it had antifreeze in it.
  3. Morning Peeps, New to this forum so would appreciaite some guidance. I have a 1990 Audi 90 20v that was originally my company car which I was able to buy from my employer when it was changed. It has been in the family ever since having been driven by my wife regularly until she decided she wanted more air-conditioning than the sunroof provides. I couldn't bear to part with it effectively for scrap so it has been laid-up and SORN'd since but I am now considering re-commissioning it for a motoring holiday next year. The rear brake calipers are now seized at the handbrake pivot although it has been on stands with the brakes off and I wondered if anyone on here has any recommendation as to a competent reconditioner of said rear calipers? The TRW site doesn't list them although the very rare front ones are. Thanks, Chris.
