[DeTomaso] ABS Calipers vs. NON-ABS Calipers

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Good grief.  Take the darn calipers off and eject the pistons already 
for crying out loud.  :)

You'll know pretty quick after wiping a clean rag over them if they are 
shot or not.

On my 1973 Pantera, which had copious amounts of water in the system, I 
had pistons that looked awful when removed.  However, after wiping with 
a rag, they were sparkling, with no pits.  You don't know, until you know.

Get after it, or send the calipers to me and I'll rebuild them for you, 
as long as the pistons are okay.
