@jono Hi. I use the site mainly for info' on my K8 engine (see X2s sportscar posts). However, I've just bought some new MX3 front hubs to use as a 'proof-of-concept' suspension design. I'll probably use these on all 4 wheels as I need to keep the parts count manageable. I've just noticed that the gearbox selector has seized solid, so, will probably need some advice with this too in the near future !
Hello - I am new = took on a treasured MX3 1.6 1996 that had sat in a barn for many years and loved driving it - but parts a nightmare of course. Brake system needed attention - had callipers front/back refurbished - but still need a useable brake master cylinder & I can’t track a RH drive one. Got LH drive new (from USA) and used (from Lithuania) but usual good garage = no joy with those. Hence joined for hope, of deeper part sourcing options. The car is with a more classic car mechanic now, who is going to look at the LH/RH issue but booked up for a month = if I can get the right part for RH interim I’ve got more potential for outcome, when their time window comes to look at whether it’s a goer or not.
Much appreciated if any part source ideas. Chassis is JMZEC13C500211566 part number I am told is B6044340ZA
Kindly Jenny.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think I may have found the requisite part but won’t know for sure until I can get the car to the garage next week. Fingers crossed I’ll be up and motor running in no time but it’s good to have another contact should I need one.
If you are currently working on a project, we would love to see what you are doing. And remember to drop back and keep us upto date as the project goes on. (Please use only one Topic per car)
Hi Mushman
Is it a rear or front caliper? My mechanic is having problems with my rear passenger caliper and has said that it will need replacing. Cheers.
