brake caliper rebuild question

[Tim L]

Is there a higher temperature dust seal for the Carrera calipers for racing applications?
I’m constantly rebuilding the calipers because the dust seals disintegrate from the heat.

Thanks

Don't use them. Most cars have been driving around for years with the dust shields in tatters.

Racing brakes like Wilwod don't come with them.

Doesn't the dust and crap get in there and freeze up the calipers?

Maybe in 5 or 10 years if you don't maintain them. Hose them off the next day (when they are cold) or use compressed air to blow the dust out. Be really carefull with air though, don't breath the dust.
