Usually a few new ones on Ebay. Look for Vauxhall Astra or cavalier, obviously you want the calipers for the solid discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want standard brakes and can find the twin pots go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascona200 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Ah mine is '77 , just a bit wary if buying the wrong bits , I'll be replacing the pads and discs as what's on mine has been modified somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 As snowy says carlton ones are best. Both fit no problem. Check for the early ones not mk3 carlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
