western Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 The new gallery seals & pistons/seal kit arrived earlier this week, so later today I will be rebuilding the caliper ready for refit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 After trying to get the original calipers fluid connection to seal which I couldn't make it dry, I decided to use the new vented caliper I bought but swapped over the stainless steel pistons, now it's leak free & fully working.

hurbie Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 was the caliper corroded , or dit the new seals failed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 None of the above, the old caliper was to rusty where the hose fits & couldn't get the copper washers to seal, I changed the front hoses to get rid of the short rigid pipe, so my front hoses come from the chassis bracket/pipework direct to caliper inlet via a banjo bolt & washers, I have some Dowty bonded washers coming so going to fit them to both sides instead of the 10mm inside diameter copper washers. I bought some new copper washers but the outside diameter is to bigger than expected but they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
