[diesel_mercedes] Brake Caliper Pistons

 



My '84 Wagon is supposed to have steel  pistons, the idiots who rebuilt the front calipers for the DPO used Phenolic ones and they of course failed, while I was driving down a steep ramp to - wards a closed security gate designed to stop trucks...

   Yikes .

I now have one Chinese (I guess, there's nary a mark on it anywhere) front caliper and both old ones set aside for rebuilding or exchange if I can ever find the darn things in stock anywhere .

Yea well, no hurries at this point. Already been a long time. I can get brass toothbrushes. Seems like Nate thinks the pistons are stainless. They are heavy and seem like it. First time for me to get into calipers. I always assumed there would be o-rings to seal but these are truly pistons. just a machined fit. Starting to get nervous about fire. Smoke from BC overtook us today, again, and sounds like everyone is in for the long haul and fires break out every day somewhere, you just hope its not you. Max
