Source for Caliper Pistons
 

Who is a good source for caliper pistons? I have a rear piston on my '82 SC that needs to be replaced. Our host doesn't seem to carry them.
Thanks in advance.

You can get the quite inexpensively from Zims if Pelican doesn't have the rears.

If you have one sticking you will want to replace both in that caliper. Better yet, rebuild all 4 calipers as the others probably aren't far behind. My "one sticky caliper" project turned into 4 rebuilt calipers w/ new pistions, new pads, stainless lines, some hard lines, and a master cylinder. Once I got into it most everything needed attention. I've got great brakes now though.

Hey Sunday, thanks for the tip. Zims will have the piston on the peninsula in time for my weekend caliper rebuild.

what is the story with the stainless pistons? worth the extra dough?

and paul brewer, i guess you are an civil engineer?

opps. i just checked manufacturing engineer.. i just noticed the PE.

I have two sets of S calipers and every piston in them has rust. So I will buy stainless and I won't have to replace them again ever.

Unfixed, I am a manufacturing engineer currently being worked to death by one of the former Big Three.
I think the best approach is to flush fluid every year and put the money that you would have spent on stainless pistons on some go-fast parts.

that is what i kinda went with.
thanks.

cliff, PE too.
