I was thinking of the master, however in 45 years of playing with the single piston calipers I have never replaced the piston assembly for pitting. Yes forgot the seal is stationary. I have had pistons stuck, but have always been successful in freeing it up.

The phenolic pistons were a Ford deal. Guess it is possible GM used them on something; but I don't remember ever seeing them on a GM car. We used to have Ferds and Lincolns towed in all the time with the front brakes locked up. Pistons would swell. We replaced them with steel pistons.

Local auto parts store sent mine our, just mark them to get them back. Blasted, rebuilt, $35 ea. Then I painted it cast so it wouldn’t get all rusty. New bleeders too, covers, it was a deal.

I've also got a stockpile of ready to go calipers available - I have many dates too.
FYI, thanks - don't want to hijack this thread, just an FYI. Anthony https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=146099 Last edited by AnthonyS; 12-19-2019 at 06:15 AM. Reason: typo

Great info here. Thank you. Does anyone make a USA made rebuild kit? I don't like cheap imported junk in general but really find most cheap rubber products to be complete useless.
