Caliper rebuilding.
Who is everyone using to rebuild single piston Camaro brake calipers? I used Lonestar in Texas to do my 4 piston originals on my 67 Camaro, but it doesn’t look like Ken does single piston. A good friend is doing his pace car and I’m trying to get him to keep his date coded originals.
Thanks Buddy

This pace car has been sitting for 20 years! Probably gonna need sleeves.

Hi Buddy, I usually do my own but if they need sleeves I've used White Post with quick turn around. Locally Apple Hydraulics in Calverton, NY and you could drop them off.

The sealing surface is the piston, not the bore...Joe

Joe when a bore that is pitted you'll never get a it to seal. That is why they resleeve the bore. Most of the time I can hone the bore to remove minor rust/pitting. I can't remember the last time I had to replace a piston.

It was my understanding on the single caliper that the bore didnt do much since the seal edge is the piston.

Right. As long as the pits aren't in where the seal goes. The seal goes in the caliper housing....Joe
