Got the original calipers with the car so doing a rebuild on them just finished removing all the paint and rust off the first one.

Nice work [emoji41]

Are you using the stainless steel piston upgrade for the rebuild or the standard steel ones ?

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I havent bought the pistons yet but i think i will be getting the stainless steel ones, can u recommend a brand?

Godspeed brakes are quality components and the customer service is brilliant

I had a look at them before they are a bit pricey do u think they really make a difference or is it just so they dont rust.

I used the godspeed stainless steel piston kit on mine and couldn't fault it for fitment.

The main reason for fitting ss pistons is so they don't rust and therefore won't seize . If you keep the brakes clean and well greased I can't see why mild steel ones wouldn't last 8 to 10 years before needing another refurb though .

One of pistons is jammed in there ive just sprayed lots of wd40 on see if it loosens it up what did u used to clean the the little lip of slight rust around the top edge of the piston housing i was thinking just gently clean it with a brilo pad.

I used a bit of emery cloth ,rinsed em through with petrol and then again with brake cleaner .

Make sure before you paint em , put a bit of tape or blue tack over the union face where the brake line copper washer has to seal . If it gets painted the brake fluid will eventually eat through the paint causing a leak behind the copper washer [emoji6]

I ended up ordering the godspeed stainless steel pistons should be coming today
