700 Bendix Front Calipers
 

Been mooching around in the garage and its attic and came across these.

They are a pair of Reconditioned Bendix twin pipe calipers that were fitted to various 700's over the years. The original rather rusty looking mounting brackets are also included.

I bought them for around £160 the pair iirc for my 87 740 Turbo as i was forever fecked off with the old ones sticking on. Once these were fitted i actually lost 0.5 seconds off my 1/4 mile time as my old calipers were that sticky.

These were on my 740 turbo for about 5 months and 3,000 miles before i had to scrap the shell due to the worst case of tin rot i've ever seen on a 700 series.

They have sat in my garage now for several years just in case i'd ever buy another 700 again. I cut the flexis and left them in the calipers to protect the threads, the flexis undo fine.

I will even include the set of pads pictured that were on the car for 3000miles.

I now have no further use for them, but know that they would probably be a godsend for someone else with a sticky front end.

£60 Posted the pair.
