Front Brake Calipers Used.

[Jack]

Just checking if anyone had a working set of front brake calipers that were pulled after an upgrade.

My rear rebuild from years ago is fine, but the fronts that I just rebuilt are leaking.
I removed to much of the bore to get a good tight seal.
I know DeloreanGo has a set for $280 or upgrade for an extra $170 to vented fronts.

Just figured I check if anyone had a set they would let go on the cheap cheap first.

Thanks,

I'll be upgrading my brake system in the next few months. Once I do the swap, I'll be selling a complete OEM brake setup.

Are you sure?
If the bore is way too large, the piston may bind/hang...but, the sealing is at the bore's groove and the piston, i.e., none with the bore.
Maybe check for a pinched/cut/?? o-ring seal or scared/pitted/?? piston.

i have a set, they require a rebuild though.

Idiot confession time:

While cleaning these I forgot about them for over two weeks.
I was fucking stupid and left them in vinegar bath. (Which I normally do for 12-24 hours max to remove surface rust on parts.)
I'm fairly sure this has eaten the groove beyond making a good seal.
Every other pedal press I get a drop or two of fluid from each of the four pistons.
It's simple safer to replace them.
Not the worst dumb thing I've done, but certainly up there.

Ill pop the pistons out tonight, make sure the bores are good before I send them
