Default Caliper O-Ring Conversion Recommendations

Just split my calipers and learned they ARE stainless lined

What's the recommendation on the best O-ring kit? I see vb&P has one, who else? Experiences?

Almost all the vendors sell the O-ring kits. Pick your favorite vendor.

The VB&P kits work fine. I've had the kit installed for 3 years with much less driving than I would like and no leaks. A lot of the vendors sell parts from other vendors so you can see who is offering the best deal at the time you are looking to buy. December sales should be coming up soon.

I use Vette Brakes & Products. I did an o-ring conversion on my two vettes and on three other vettes for my friends. Very simple to do, just keep everything very clean and you should have no problems. Jerry
