Stainless steel caliper pistons - Caliper seal kits - Stainless UK pad pins

Recommended Posts

I now make and supply front and rear pistons for UK and Jap spec calipers. I also have stainless brake pad retaining pin kits for the UK calipers. i will sell as either full sets, or part sets as required.

 

UK pistons: Fronts are £18 plus VAT per piston and rears are £21 plus VAT per piston.

Jap type pistons: Fronts are £22 plus VAT per piston, rears are £24 plus VAT per piston (much more material used).

 

I also have the special material square section seals that go between the caliper halves when you split them to replace the pistons. These are not even listed, let alone available from Toyota. They are £4.50 each and there are two per caliper. They must be changed... P&P for pistons is £7.80 to UK postcode addresses, sent insured and trackable. Brake pin kits in stainless for all four UK calipers are £36 plus VAT a set, plus £5.80 plus VAT insured P&P, or at YOUR RISK, £2.50 plus VAT by untrackable Royal Mail parcel. I am able to offer caliper piston seals and dust / water boots at a saving on Toyota prices. Let me know what you need please. I am happy to rebuild calipers for people, but don't want to get involved painting in other than black Kephos, or a customer supplied finish. I am unable to powder coat them, sorry. Price3 for refurb dependent on received condition, but circa £40 plus VAT per caliper plus parts.

Payment by bank transfer or Paypal plus 4%. Prices are plus VAT. I do not take credit card payments, sorry.

 

Orders by **E-MAIL** please. I have constantly changing stock levels at the moment. J-Spec pistons are now also available, as are seal kits. By using stainless you will stop further seizure by the chrome plating on stock pistons pitting and flaking and general rust issues on old standard Toyota pistons.

 

If you don't know what you are doing take your calipers to a professional, the old pistons need to be nearly all the way out BEFORE you remove the calipers from the hydraulic system on the car!!!!! This means pumping them out evenly, with an assistant holding "eager" pistons back with a lever, with no pads in the caliper, one caliper at a time, then wedging the pistons that are almost out whilst you move to the next one. Home made wooden wedges, strips of metal, spanners etcetera work fine. Getting partially seized pistons out of calipers on the bench is a nightmare. Replies by E-MAIL please!!

I can do stainless caliper pistons for ALL calipers, as well as re-sleeving worn out obsolete calipers, and obsolete master and slave cylinders. I can provide seal kits for many other makes of calipers, too. Don't forget my well known fast road pads, for all Supras and a now for a big range of other cars, too.

No, sorry, but you could send just the calipers in a box and i can return them re-sealed with new pistons. Otherwise you'd need to leave the car for a couple of days. If anyone wants to send calipers please e-mail me first as i need you to pump the pistons nearly all the way out *BEFORE* you disconnect the brake pipes! Thanks.
