Thanks Jake.

No not quite yet, but soon. (or at least closer to yours' than they were)

Of interest (likely only to me!) is that the join on replacement
caliper looks different.

The failed one might possibly have a gasket in between the halves.
Maybe that got messed up on assembly. I wonder if they had gaskets
there were new?

Appreciate the pointers!

Neil.
