Chris Wilson Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I now have a stock of front and rear pistons for UK calipers. I also have stainless brake pin kits for the UK and Jap spec calipers. i will sell as either full sets, or just fronts or rears as required. UK pistons: Fronts are £18 per piston and rears are £21 per piston. Jap type pistons: Fronts are £22 per piston, rears are £24 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 a set, plus £5.80 insured P&P, or at YOUR RISK, £2.50 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. 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, remove the pads and do the same again. Home made wooden wedges etcetera work fine. Getting partially seized pistons out of calipers on the bench is a nightmare. ALL prices here are plus VAT.

Chris Wilson Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I can put some in a seal top bag if you don't have any. Enough to do whatever number of seals you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
