The Florida is in for MOT and my mechanic says I need at least one new caliper and ideally both. He can't find any from his suppliers. Brickwerks seems to be closed this week and at any rate I can't find a phone number for them.
I'm in Worthing so a south coast supplier would be nice. Thanks

Try these guys https://www.brakesint.co.uk got a flexible hose from them years ago when I couldn't find it anywhere else.
You could always have them refurbed depending on timescale. |

There are numerous optional suppliers which you could try. Use the (i) to the left to bring up the list. It is unlikely that the caliper cannot be saved; it is just easier to replace. |

You could rebuild what you have. The hardest part though is getting the pistons out since they are dual if one is seized.
I did this in a parking lot in Germany when we bought our Florida. Luckily had the help of a local guy for tools etc.
