In a very recent thread I offered to post a pic of my Mid 80`s +8 calipers... But no takers, then this thread popped up so thought to grab and post a couple of pics, in the hope they help..?
For sure with trade links and pressures on time and of course the rise of lawyers for you, the safest advice is ever to hand the task to experts and more so when typing of brakes... But there are still some old fuddy duddies who still take things apart and have a go at repairing the kit themselves, just as was expected of many Morganeers in ye olde days... and being of that type, I stripped and cleaned the pistons on my calipers, fitted new seals and brake pads a couple of years back .
The brake pads were under the trade name TRW and listed as GDB6111 which were suited to various old Opal cars, and a Lotus Esprit S2... "Go figure" as our American cousins would say... I also ordered a fitting kit which arrived and was under the trade name of Apec, listed as Kit 200, the pins fitted but the anti rattle springs were too short, fortunately my springs were in reasonable condition thus a replacement was not required (see pic). I may have the seal kit numbers somewhere if I root around a bit. At the same time I bought the seals I also bought seals for the master cyl for both brake and clutch, and the same for the rear wheel cylinders, as well as a couple of new wheel cylinders to have as spares. From a dull memory the seals came in Green Lucas boxes and the wheel cyl in Girling boxes...
EDIT, looking closer at the pic, I think the pins did not fit and that I used the spring clips from the kit to retain the original pins which were in good enough condition when inspected, thus if you buy the kit hoping to replace problem pins, you may be disappointed..
