Brake Caliper - S2 K Series Elise

[SteveTef]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if anyone else could verify/confirm that the brake calipers on the Elise are the same as that on a Laguna? Seems abit odd to me but there is a thread on one of the forums which states this. 

 

Just wondering if this is correct as I am in need of a replacement rear passenger caliper. (Handbrake is sticking) and although I am cleaning it up to loosen I don't think this will be sufficient. 

 

Of course any other ideas would be appreciated. Would like to be able to use the car so any quick fixes which are reliable would be great. (I really don't want to risk anything with the brakes) 

 

Thanks

Hi Steve,

 

I got the relevant part number from here, and then just ordered the refurbed caliper from my local motor factors.

I just part ex'd my rears at SJ Sportscars for new + cash. I'm sure Steve would do something for a reconditioned one too.
