Hi I've got sticky calliper pistons so is it best to get recon callipers or repair myself with a calliper repair kit
Also what price do you think would be ok for a calliper......seen 2on fleabay £110
Cheers martin

Personally I would do them myself. Just buy a repair kit and if you think the pistons are pitted then buy a set of new pistons. :-)

I agree with Ben do them yourself, not that difficult and save yourself a shed load of money.

1. If you visit my www.marinacoupe.co.uk website you'll find an article I wrote on how I did it.

2. Ben has also published most of the complete BL workshop manual, so it's worth reading that has well.

3. Rimmer Brothers sell seal repair kits for £13 and pistons if you need them. They are listed for Dolomite but are the same as Marina/Ital.

Cheers for the advise chaps as you say do them yourself and save loadsa money

Agree with the lads above. Reynards callipers were seized solid as he was laid up for over 3 years. I honed out the bores and bought a repair kit for about £13 and the grease for about £2 for the pistons on ebay.
