Caliper rebuild kit help

[chuck hahn]

Ive looked at both the 78 and 79 1000 parts fiches and they seem to use the same caliper parts numbers for pistons and pads. Been looking on Ebay and cant seem to find rebuild kits for the front calipers that come with the pistons. Where do you guys get your pistons for the calipers? I can buy rebuild kits to get dust boots and seals easy enough.

Heres some pics of the good one that came out of these calipers. The other one was pitted. Note it has a slight domed area and is stamped T32A on top. Ideally i just need another of these pistons or a source for a set of new ones. I took pics of the measurements as well.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DOMED AREA...SHOULDER TO BASE ONLY

Front rebuild kits are no longer available. Bummer. The seals and boots ARE available, but not the pistons.

The rear kits ARE available as grcamna2 mentions. This won't help if you need fronts though.

In the UK there are sources for stainless pistons. Hopefully one of the UK boys will chime in with a source.

Maybe the eBay seller of these, which are for the larger diameter single caliper 'C' (larger diameter) calipers may be able to help if you send a query?

As Ed says....Wemoto, stainless pistons and seals. A bit pricey but they'll last forever, $38.52 for the rear and $64.43 for the front..... plus shipping! I think a few on here have used them, me included.

Edit... hmm, the front is OEM so not stainless.....

I can recommend both wemoto and "powerhouse"; I bought parts from both of them.

As already suggested wemoto or powerhouse it may be worth contacting the guy in the link to see what they charge
