John said:Harvey, why would they need to be sleeved if built up correctly with Girling grease?
I have a friend who has a Dagenham Flying Pig, and his description of Girling calipers makes mine suitable for a vicars tea party. (But he is a pure bred Yorkshireman!)

It is supposed to be moisture absorbing paper, but personally I think they serve little purpose. I have a set of NOS rear calipers that were completely wrapped in genuine sticky moisture absorbing paper, but that combined with the paper within didn't stop the steel bores from corroding. So before I can use them, they will have their cylinders resleeved in stainless steel.
If you smear some grease around, that in my view would be more beneficial that pieces of paper.

When we talk about sleeving, I assume we are talking about a sleeve being fitted to the hole where the part 601916 - the mechanical piston/cup slides?
