Repro F0/F1/ K7 & A caliper bodies

<< < (2/2)

Waggles:
Well I renovated my F1 calipers as, basically I had to but had these been available I would have gone for them. The problem with renovating old brake parts is once the bore has corroded beyond a certain level they are essentially scrap and will never work properly again, plus threads are bound to wear, its in their job description a new one HAS to be safer surely? you cant rebore and fit oversize pistons to my knowledge.

I beleive there is a firm that will bore them out and fit stainless sleeves though, no idea how good that is

I am tempted to buy one of these as a spare, if Hairy says they are OK thats good enough for me.

hondaking:
I have spent £1000 of pounds at silvers over the last few years and most parts are quite well made. There are a few parts that did not come up to standard for example Ign switches  Coils and brake pads Fitted some repro pads in my mates 250 dream and we could not stop it at all. Also machining callipers and fitting oversize pistons is not a problem have done it a few times in the past. I have been Restoring Honda's for the last 20 years and always got around most problems.
