I have replaced the front discs and the next job is to restore the calipers.
There is some minor pitting (rust marks) on the pistons. Am I better off getting a restored (exchange) caliper or will I be OK to use the pistons I have?. I have already bought a caliper repair kit comprising piston seals and dust seals. Can I purchase new pistons anywhere?

Cheers

go to your loca motor factors ask them to order them from a company called
brake engineering based in wrexham

Pistons are matched to the bore. Try rubbing it down with 1200 grade wet and dry until it's really shiny and smooth. Late calipers are £60 a pop. So save yr money and put some elbow grease in.

.. and then of course, throughly clean and degrease till you're blue in the face.
