I don't suppose anybody has a clean left hand Falco caliper I can buy off them?
I've just stripped the threads (bango) in mine fitting my new brake lines
Cheers! Tom

In case the stores are empty, would a heli coil fix it. If heli coils can't be used on brake parts I apologise as I haven't a clue what they can and can't be used on.

Ive been looking around one the net, and it appears you can. I might go down this road as im poor. Does involve splitting the caliper though

Well I have a pair of front calipers and they are in fair though grubby condition

If you fancy a trip to Hempnall Norfolk you can have the pair for £80

Cheers Aladinsaine
Can I get back to you on that? I'm going to attempt helicoil method first

no worries

I suspect that now the hobbit has been alerted to some more falco bling for his rsv that he will be sniffing around shortly

Time-sert (I think) is better. Not sure if it's cheaper though. That's what I had done with my Falco oil tank and it worked a treat.
