The square o-ring seals are usually fine unless the nickel plating on
your mild steel caliper pistons pitted and tore them. The dust boots
also. Those calipers were OEM on Rolls-Royce Shadows and maybe
Aston-Martin or a couple of other big Brit-cars. Girling sold the
rights & spares to someone in England 20 years ago; can't remember who.
If all else fails, pull the pistons and give them to Johnny Woods- he
can make billet replacements from 312 or 321-stainless bar stock and
corrosion will never again be a problem. This is what I had to do 5
years ago with my 1970 ATE calipers (early 911 Porsche fronts) that I
run as rear calipers on our Pantera. Some Porsche shops can acid-strip
the plating, then send the pistons out for re-plating, for really big
bucks. And you still have plated pistons that will do the same thing
again. Maybe Johnny will offer them as a replacement part!
Does anyone know the best place to get replacement brake
caliper pistons for stock OE three piston front calipers for
GT5S....with seal sets....?
