Tom--you didn't read his post closely. He said that Euro car brakes
pistons are NOT stainless.
====
"The ONLY terminal problem in stock brakes is a rust-pitted piston: all
Euro brake caliper pistons (not just DeTomasos, either!) are nickel-plated mild
steel while all U.S ones are stainless."
=====
Thus they are much more likely to be AFU than an American car's pistons,
which he said are normally stainless.
I don't know what the vendor's brake rebuilders do. Do they reuse stock
pistons, or replace them with new ones sourced elsewhere, or ???
