The front callipers are Triumph Spitfire as are the disks.

Try Rimmer Bros or Canley Classics

Hi, I've Just replaced both front calipers as one had siezed. Type 14 calipers from Canley Classics are £55 barnd new or £35 refurbed on an exchange basis. I went for 2 new ones given the relatively low price. Good quality, very easy to fit and quick delivery from Canley.

Job done!

Yes and no, the Spitfire ones are steel the standard Caterham ones are Aluminium, also the PCD can be different, check your wheels

Thanks for all your help. I am going to refurbish them, pistons look relatively new so am going to change all the seals.
