Hiya Peoples,

Has been a while, went away and got married and am now a little poorer than before but happy in the knowledge that girls find wedding rings attractive.
Beats me.

Anyway, I am starting a search for the best period caliper for my honda. The standard honda ones are fairly poor (they do the job, but surely there is better), any suggestions?

Cheers.

What about the grimeca caliper? Is it on par with the 4 fin lockhead?

Lockheed or Grimeca are fine and both comply with requirements. Just make sure you use the correct type. I think Neville Lush had a contact for the Grimeca but that was a long time back, either the three or four fin Lockheed are accepted nowadays.

I had a look on the britishspares website and the grimeca is available from them brand new and is very reasonably priced. Then you just need to work on the ratio for the master cylinder. And then cast iron disc or stainless?

mmmm not sure, I guess cast would be better, but everyone seems to do OK with stainless.

I had better get cracking on it if it is to be ready for anything this year!

Cheers.
