I can't remember an overhaul, but don't know if they need them. Pads still have maybe a quarter of the original friction material on? Their condition may be dubious due to the way to forks were mutilated by the Mitsubishi. I'll have to let Red98 get back to you on those.

Thanks Paul, i know you know what youre looking at.
Calipers are something i havent touched yet so it would be interesting to learn a bit about them from all the threads on foc-u & have a set to play with since im now too old for Lego, if they need allot of work i might be outta my depth so hopefully the impact didnt trash them.

He He Nick, that's the trouble, they're damn fine brakes...fine enough to lock up under panic stations, i wish i'd just hit the 4x4 but then again my forks woulda been bent then.(p.s sorry to all the Honda CRV owners who have had stares of death since :2guns ) the new me is coming soon, complete with knowledge about falling off & how much it hurts!
