I have some hubs here off a hatch ( i think i still have them ) will need new discs and may aswell do bearings. Maybe even brake lines from a dics model.

I also have a f8b bear block, could do something with it.

Hey yep can get discs from there or suzistore for $70 each.

Calipers i may have, but would probaly need a rebuild.

A bare block is just the bottom end of the engine, no head, pistons, crank, rods, sump.

But i do have some pistons and rods and sump if you want them.

Also have a head, but needs a recon done to it.

I do have the brake lines here for the discs.

I'm not positive on the hubs, may of gotten rid of them when i went to the tip.

Just take the calipers to a brake shop and hone and new seals.

Mechanic, not sure, easy to do yourself.
