Order an O-ring rebuild kit from VB&P and rebuild all 4 calipers. You won't have to worry about your brakes for a long time.

Great looking Vette BTW. No bumps along the area between the headlights and hood so someone probably took care of any body issues.

Thanks Rick.

I will for the rears but I managed to source the fronts which should arrive today and I'll fit tomorrow. At least then I'm back on the road. Haven't driven it beyond my test drive so keen to get some miles in soon as the weather whilst has been great this year, is now turning wet and cold.
