Re: [DML] Brake Calipers, Tie Rod ends, Electrical Parts Source

Hi Jim

I'm really glad someone else has found RimmerBros! I bought a pair of 
track rod ends from them (tie rod ends) and they are indeed off a 
Herald. I also bought an ignition barrel which is not a 100% match but 
definitely fits and the wiring can be altered to fit the original plug 
with ease.

The calipers cross ref to a ford cortina on the front and a '79 Jag XJS 
if memory serves. I haven't personally needed one but James Russel-Grant 
(www.dmc12.co.uk) bought a reconditioned one from a motor factors for 
£16 ($24ish)

If you have not ordered from RimmerBros, I should point out their 
service is very good. If they do international orders, so much the better!
