Recon Brakes
« on: 28 September 2011, 16:40 »
Im going to be reconditioning my brake calipers, Where is the best place to get the seals etc from? Iv also been told that its better to wait till after the powder coating before removing the old seals, it makes sense but is it the best option?

Could work out cheaper and easier to get new calipers.
