Hi All,
Just wanted to get some views on the old brake refurb topic.
I have usually got a rebuild kit and done them myself no probs.
I was told about past parts and thought they sounded the buisness, stainless pistons and sleeves, they could last forever ish.
I spoke to them and they don't use stainless on the front calipers instead they get some kind of teflon coated parts. I thought I would give JRW a call to see what he can do. his response
"No we moved away from S/S pistons years ago after experiencing problems with them, so stick to the original chrome and ground or nitrided which is common today. They are not sleeved as they don't need to be-its extremely rare to have corrosion in the bore--just the pistons go rusty."
I thought that stainless steel was the way to go, has anyone had there calipers professionally overhauled? I am interested to know of others experiences.
Cheers
Colin
