SOS..two front calipers urgently needed
hellp!!!!! MOT due and still no tax on the bike

found that both front callipers are binding, even after a very good cleaning.

if I don’t replace them they are going to warp the disc like the last pair i have just replaced. ( they havent gotten better after a 5 mile run of smooth braking down from 40 and 70)

two things

1 does anyone have 2x of the old style 996 (2 pads per calliper as opposed to the 4 pads per calliper) knocking around for sale. Would buy off ebay, but have a bad feeling from buying such a thing from an untrusted source.

or/and

2 does anyone know someone who does recon callipers (Haynes manual says no to stripping the calliper yourself.)

Please can someone help?. As of yet to find out how much they are new, but i think they are around £183 + vat each

thanks all for helping..
