49 quid each for brand new -not recon or exchange Golf type calipers. That's not a bad price.
Says they're aluminium bodied. Are standard Golf ones? Haven't looked at mine in a long time! I thought they were steel. God, my memory's getting bad.

i think (from a knackered memory) that some of the later one,s were ally bodied

they look excellent value when you realise no trawling the ,,scrappy,s,, looking for units to recon + carriers
