O ring caliper conversion
Last test drive after red wire replacement, car pulls to the right. No visible leak at caliper but rotor felt slippery. Pulled the pads, they were wet. Took caliper off , pulled seal. And jelly like goo behind pistons. Off to Zip to get o ring conversion kit. They only had 1 kit. Checked online several vendors list them, cssb, lone star, and top flight. Prices and shipping vary. Question is are they all the same ( one manufacturer several marketers) and how do you identify what brake fluid is in system? Thanks Chuck

Got mine at Van Steel. Local for me. They are located in sunny Clearwater, Florida. Depending upon where you live, may be an excuse to pick them up in person and spend a few days at the beach. Jerry

Hi Jerry,
My name is Wayne and I live in Tampa so we may have met at car shows. Ive owned my Yellow 67 Coupe for 30 years now and feel the need to rebuild or replace my brake calipers. Are you still a fan of Van Steel? If not, who do you recommend? I also hear good things about Lone Star and CSSB.
Thanks for your help,
Wayne
