Where to get mk3 brake calipers

Postby shonkers » Tue Oct 28, 2025 8:51 pm

Hello folks, As title i’m struggling to find new front brake calipers for a friends 1981 2.0l petrol transit (i think that makes it a mk3) it’s been sat for 7 years but i got it going for her last year to move it but had no brakes and it was overheating so i’m going to give it a good overhaul and put new timing belt on new rad an water pump and brakes all round, iv’e got all the parts from autodoc but calipers are out of stock and having no joy on internet so if anyone can point me in the right direction it will be muchly appreciated

1981 would make it a Mk2 Transit, a member on here does sell some mk1 and mk2 parts send Ralph a private message and ask.
