Do you pay import duty on 2ndhand stuff?
Anyway UPDATE: I bought a secondhand caliper on ebay and collected it yesterday. It also had knackered seals, but the case was good and it was only £30.
Got it home realises it was seized.. FFS! Spent an hour or so faffing about with it trying to get the pistons out.
I used the 'new' case and a combination of all the best remaining parts to make one good caliper (minus the dust seals) all cleaned up on the bike and working.
I have some new seals on order so when they arrive, unless the existing seals are leaking, I might just fit the dust seals, although the dust seal recess has seen better days!
