Idemann Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 HiI've just had to buy a pair for mine, I'm sure they are the same for the Aerodeck.I got mine from my local factors, Mill Auto Supplies. They were recons by Brake Engineering. I haven't got the part numbers to hand as I've left the invoice at work and start a weeks holiday tomorrow but I'll put the numbers up when I get back. They were £78 + vat + surcharge to me but got a very special price as we use the company alot at work.Have a look on http://www.brakeparts.co.uk, they list them as well as overhaul kits and seem pretty reasonable. If you go to a factors ADL Blue Print list them aswell but they were much more expensive, £150ish +vat I think but they will be new not recon.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antech Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 failure by salt ingress caused by rubber seal around piston onto caliper body or seal on back of caliper from handbrake linkage failure.sometimes as a temporary repair with hand brake cable disconnected from calibre lift up seal around handbrake linkage and squirt wd40 inside to free of mechanicals,this is not brake fluid part.Sorry at the end of the day it will need a new calibre.Suggestion I think vti has prelude/accord brakes try getting a match from scrapyard.calibre new £200 ballpark from honda.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
