Exclamation T70 MK3b Calipers: Back into production?

Hi all,

on the occasion of last Sunday`s Jim Clark revival at Hockenheim I spotted a company selling brand new Girling 18/4 and 16/4 calipers (narrow bridge, not the wide one for facilitating LeMans brake pads)
Stupid as I was (...and perhaps am), neither did I buy a set nor did I ask for a business card etc.
All I remember being told was that these calipers are said be be back on the market through TRW.

Assuming the latter is correct, does anybody have any idea where to order these calipers from?

Many thanks in advance.

Marcus

Marcus,

TRW bought Lucas' girlings brake business.
You can try calling TRW in Koblenz.
Their brakes are designed there. Perhaps they will put you onto the aftermarket division.

I thought the MkIIIb calipers were a unique Lola item.

Any photo's available.

Here's a brand new one on a continuation T70. Probably available through Lola. At a price....
