Default Caliper new sleeves

Who sleeves the pistons with stainless in the north east? This is for a C3.

Do you need your specific calipers back for NCRS reasons?

Otherwise, just buy Lonestar rebuilds, and send your old ones back as cores. You can do this through a vendor, too, if you are assured of getting sleeved original Delco Moraine castings from Lonestar.

For example, I have a set of these in my 79.

While CSSB Inc. makes great rebuild kits, I don't see that they do sleeving, (but I could be wrong). So pick up a set of Lonestar rebuilds using original Delco Moraine castings (not the new production ones). They are a wholesaler, so make sure whatever vendor you pick specifies the source.

For example, I have a set of these in my 79. Zip is in VA, but still not far from you.

I'd contact Lonestar directly, in that case. I seem to remember they provided that service, but I can't find a link. Their site is barely up, but has a phone number and an email.

Please let us know what you find!

I would also need to get my originals back as they accept L shaped pads.
