So, still looking guys.

How much was he asking for the carriers?

The make is budweg from Denmark

I think I had to email them , with my request ...as they were showing as out of stock .
They also do the repair kits too , amongst other brake parts

Just bought some discs and pads for the front from them

Hope it may help

Chris

Thanks very much. I will try that.

There may be progress here thanks to you guys.
I checked on the TRW website and it appears the S8 carriers are the same as Urs6. Happy days.
The calipers are however different. So I contacted Brakes International and they are expecting stock in 2 weeks. I have a pair on order. Happy days.
So now I just need discs and pads then I'm sorted.

Anyone need a pair of S8 rear calipers completely overhauled?

Which S8 in particular? There are quite a few variants. What are the part numbers?

I won't be 100% sure until I test fit but the brakes came off a 1998 4.2 S8 with cast Iron Lucas calipers.
As you say, several options on the S8 depending on original wheel size.
Unfortunately, part numbers on carriers are not readable.
