Hi. New Kanguro owner. The bike had been sitting for a while so booked it for an MOT to assist with what might need attending to. Managed to drop in on black ice on the way to the test and slid a surprising distance down the road. All on my first ride with the V5 in my name. So have got that out of the way as I do want to use it some green lanes. Tester lent me some tape and overlooked the now broken indicators. But it failed on the rear brake which was not consistent. Disc looks straight so going to rebuild the caliper. Does anyone know what rebuild kit I would need. 1989/90 ish bike. X3. Don’t yet have any manuals to look it up. Thanks!

I’d get in touch with Doug at Mdina Italia. I needed a seal kit for a late 350 Sport rear brake and ended up with two types so was able to do another brake on a Coguaro.
I have a Camel manual so included rear brake info

Just an FYI that Doug had a decent used Brembo F05 calliper on the shelf which with a new seal kit and fresh pads was a straight swap.
