Who sells brake caliper pistons?
I just took apart the rear calipers from a 911sc and found that the pistons had rust that ate through the polished sealing surface. I think I need a new set but I can't find anyone who sells them. Anyone know where I can get them?

I ended up buying new calipers when this happened to me on my SC. I could never find just the pistons for SC calipers.

Someone makes them in stainless, and they advertise in Panorama or Excellence. Of course I can't find an ad now but I'm pretty sure they're out there.

call Pelican. Stoddard will sell them also, but call Pelican first.

I had a piston in a front 911SC A caliper to fail. I figured the caliper was toast since I'd never seen just the pistons for sale.
So Pelican sells the pistons? Do you have a price Jeremy? I looked on the website, but the closest I found was a piston for $255. Of course it did have a nice caliper shaped holder. What is the price for 911SC A caliper piston? Thanks, Rob

Pelican doesn't have them and the stainless versions are just too much at $200 for a set of four.
