» CMF Memberthey were an optional extra so are quite rare to find.
bare in mind a used rear disc axle's prob been left for some time n prone to rust/seizing.
the ferrous discs are most likey to rust away when unused so prob need skimming or prob cheaper to replace.

the pistons often seize onto the piston seal and when moisture goes past the piston boot, the chromed piston begins to pit. again may require replacing.
the calipers handbrake lever shaft seal tends to degrade, allowing the grease in the handbrake cam mechanism to harden, rust & seize which either causes the caliper to bind or the handbrake ineffective.
either overhaul the caliper urself or buy a new one.
I overhauled my own here

the c-clip that retains the spring loaded handbrake shaft is deep inside the bore so had to grind thin my needle nose clip pliers to reach.
