Chris Wilson Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Stainless caliper pistons, stainless pad pins for UK calipers, caliper seal kits. 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 £22 plus VAT per piston and rears are £24 plus VAT per piston. Jap type pistons: Fronts are £22 plus VAT per piston, rears are £26 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!! [email protected] or ring me on 07971-952084 Thanks. 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.

ianhid Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Can also highly recommend, just done the rears on mine today, will do the fronts next weekend. Beautiful bits of machined stainless if you opt for the pistons. This thread is helpful, as is this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi gentlemen. For the UK brakes the prices are as follows: 8 x UK front pistons @ £22 each : £176 4 x UK rear pistons @ £24 each : £96 1 x UK front seal kit (does both calipers) : £42 1 x UK rear seal kit (does both calipers) : £36 8 x stainless steel pad pins : £32 Total £382 VAT @ 20% £76.40 Grand total £458.40 If anyone orders a full kit as above I will do free insured P&P to any UK postcode, or elsewhere at cost. These kits are HEAVY and it's a good saving if you are at a UK post code. Seal kits are usually in stock, all pistons made to order, usually about a weeks lead time, depending on stainless bar material stock at my supplier.

Rob W Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 That's great, thanks Chris. What about the caliper seals when you split them in half? I would want to break them done completely and send them off to be painted/powdercoated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Ooops, forgot to put the price in, they are really hard to source in the correct size and material and are £4.50 each plus VAT Two are used per caliper. DO NOT get or certainly leave blasting media down the bolt hole threads!!! The bolts will jam up and are unobtanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 What price are we looking at.... Sending you the brakes and getting them refurbished and painted by yourself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 At the moment I just don't have the time to do them, sorry, but maybe after the race season I can offer this. I would only be able to offer spraying them in Kephos satin black, I wouldn't want to get into powder coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
