I'm rebuilding the calipers that came with my SC front end. I have the rebuild kit, but it only included the o-ring and dust seal. Where can I find caliper halve seals?
Also where can I get replacement harware (nut, bolts, bleeder valves) to replace the ugly rusted ones? Thanks, Ben |

Ben,
Just answered you PM then saw this post. Nut, Bolts, = Try Maryland Metric. I believe you'll be needing 9mm hardware. Measure from the base of the bolt head to the tip. You will NOT be able to find Ribe bolts like you have there. Try to source a allen head cap. If I were in your position I would source a local "zinc" plater. You could probably get all your bolts, nuts, spacers and caliper 1/2's plated for what you would have into new bolts and bleeders. Then you'd be starting fresh. Bleeder valves = As above or look for speed bleeders. Most everything will come out looking like new if you can find a good plater. $20.00 is average if you have everything cleaned up. |

Eric,
I did the same thing with your PM. Can I reuse the Ribe bolts? Thanks for the plater info. I wasn't sure where to start looking for that. |

Yes, you can reuse them. Make sure your plater knows what they are doing. They have to properly heat them after the bath to avoid hydrogen embrittlement. Shouldn't be a problem "at all". Every plater is familiar with de-imbrittlement.
