Hi,
I have a pair of 256mm 4 pot Austin Princess calipers for sale. Apparently these are the only decent thing to come off an Austin Princess.
I have also got a pair of modified suspension legs for an Audi 80, which the calipers will fit onto.
Allegedly popular for Escort people.
And supposed to be as rare as something that's rare.
Offers???

Humm I wonder if the calipers are the same fitment as the MGBGT?

Buy HiSpec's replacement instead of the princess equivalents (well, of course, they're a suitable alternative if you've got the budget!).
HiSpec's efforts are 180 quid a caliper but have integral dust seals, and don't need rebuilding every time you use them and don't leave you standing by the side of the road wondering why brake fluid is pouring out of the calipers ;D

Best bet is put them on ebay.
No idea about the audi 80 struts. But the callipers bolt straight onto an escort or capri strut or even a sunbeam or avenger.Basically anywhere that a P16/M16 caliper was fitted as standard.
Popular upgrade for escorts but they are a bit heavy these days and a modern caliper is a lot more efficient. A lot of people still use them on scrotes. Never known or heard of any reliability issues with them.

Best bet is put them on ebay. Cheers mate, I basically got them thrown in with a car I picked up and I have some Audi 90 256mm calipers I want to use instead as I can run standard wheels without spacers. I am watching a set on ebay and will see what they go for and might contact the 2nd highest bidder. Cheers for the help, Steve |
