Caliper rebuild

Post by **smashyvan** » 06 May 2008, 16:13

Hi all,
Think my front brake calipers / pistons are a bit sticky but am unsure what rebuild kit to use. Just Kampers spares only goes up to 1986 but the Van is F reg (I assume 1988 / 1989 vintage). The calipers are single piston and the sliders are free & copaslipped ok. Any advice welcomed
Thanks
Si

either ATE or more commonly Girling, ATE have rubber covers and caps over the sliding bolts, Girling don't.
try brakes international for rebuild kits

Ade, I think 'tis the other way round, the ATE have the visible chrome coloured pins, the Girlings have little concertina booties.

as andy says Girling have concertina rubber sleeves to slider pins, but ATE have the bolt heads encase in rubber (with caps if present)
