caliper refurb service

Dart Vader · Post by **Dart Vader** » Sun May 15, 16 4:11 pm

think my front calipers could do with a refurb, anyone got any recommendation as to who would do it? how much is it likely to cost, that's the wife's question.....

thanks

If they are the single piston calipers they are really easy to do, you don't even need to hone those.

Yep single piston.

Seems I can get the kit easily enough. Swap it out and clean up

Hmmmmm

Treat yourself to a pair of new pistons if they don't come in the kit, they do plastic ones these days.

Justin - if you do decide to go the lazy route, we used this lot to refurb our Satellite's Bendix calipers a few years ago. They can paint/powdercoat them after too if req.

The Calipers are off a 73 A Body I believe so are the pistons a standard size?

Just looking on Rockauto so need to be sure

BTW, Blue PM me your address and I will send that oil sender socket back to you

Thanks
