QUESTION.
I am continuing with construction of my 26R racer lookalike.
I require new seals and pistons for the front and rear calipers.
What part numbers should I order? and advise the cost please.
Front caliper has numbers T64326640, 7DA21124, 6432, 6644. Rear
has 64325711.

ANSWER.
As you have a modified Elan than it necessary to determine exactly what brake calipers are fitted before supplying the correct parts.
If you have an S1/2 Elan then the front caliper should be a Girling 12SP (fitted from 1962 to 1964)
From Elan S3 Elan onwards then the front caliper should be a Girling 14LF
However there is a common modification that is often carried out and a Girling 16P maybe fitted
For front and rear caliper information and other parts, please visit the Elan catalogue pages on this web site
The Girling reference reference manual states these are the correct part numbers
Elan rear brake caliper LH Girling 64032277
Elan rear brake caliper RH Girling 64032276
Elan S3 front caliper LH Girling 64032149
Elan S3 front caliper RH Girling 64032150
If you have a micrometer, then measure the caliper piston diameters as this provides another means of identifying calipers and seals.
