there quite simple, i have just picked up a set of metro turbo 4 pot brake set up to rebuild i take some photos and do a step by step.

first are they alloy calipers or metro turbo calipers

you just need a

2 seal kits, ( 4 in each)
8 stainless steal pistons,( if the old ones are rusty, pitted etc)
new bleed niples if you want to, 6 off for metro turbo

on metro turbo your also need hose convertion as they have 2 outlets and, it converts it to 1

to put them on your car your need

metro drive flanges and the bolt that bolt to the disc
metro vented dics 8.4"
turbo pads
hose convertion

then bolt them on.

like i said i do a step by step. for everyone, as your not the only one who has got some lately or done it

Nice 1 and think mine are AP metro turbo calipers seeing as it has the 6 bleed niples and 2 outlets which it already has the brakes line to convert it to 1

It's worth mentioning that 4 pots were fitted to many Metros, including the turbo. The Metro Turbo brakes label is a common confusion started by people on ebay trying to make a bit more cash by writing crap.

.....gets off soapbox
