I'm after a pair of these for a conversion jobbie - but secondhand spares places I found by Googling seem to want a ridiculous sum for them. Any suggestions for a cheaper source?
Rover 800 rear callipers.

buy a complete car and scrap or break the rest
Not really practical as I don't have off road parking.
buy it, tow it to scrappy, ask 'em to hoist it up, whip off the calipers, give 'em the car. Job done :-)
Trouble is there's a dearth of scrappies round here. All sold off for housing. But given the amount now unsold perhaps they'll turn them back into scrappies.
Buy one near a scrappy then. A socket set and a bloke on a rope ain't beyond ya is it?
cross the water, there are plenty near me in Essex. outens, M&J, Innes, dozens down ferry lane, rainham etc.
For all that aggro be easier just to pay what they want for spares.
Indeed - if I'd got a selection of convenient scrappies I'd try those. But the nearest decent sized one is miles away - about 30. And is one of those which removes stuff and charges accordingly.
