my mechanic informs me that the sliders on the front brake calipers on my sierra are stuffed and that they need replacing only problem is he recons its gona cost me 300 bucks for new ones plus fitting. i cant aford this so i have told him not to worry about it and i will source some second hand ones from some were else. what calipers will fit?

also aparently there is a problem with the distributor and he recomends replacing it also. i was planning on buying a 1.3 litre swift to wreck (pull it out of) any one see any problems wth this?
cheers

You should be able to get some decent sierra calipers and rebuild them.

Don't know about the swift but I'd be checking postage for a pair of calipers and dizzy from want33's if I were you, none of it is that heavy.

You can source out a rebuild kit from suzistore and rebuild your calipers yourself

ill probs end up buying a swift regardless of weather i can use the dizzy or not. theres a few around running and the barinas that run the (suzuki swift with a G13B) (1988-1994) seam to be a bit cheeper than the swift, but i recon ill be able to get one for 200-300 bucks.

main reason is i want the seats.
and it will be handy having a spare engine and stuff
also had an idea last night that might be able to chop the barina roof to make a hard top for mine. (havent looked into it though)

and judging from the wikipage. (although not the best source) the g13b runs the old dizzy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_G_engine
would be good if it worked
i doubt the calipres will be the same but ya never know.
cheers troy
