Hello group.
The rear caliper in my 88 90Q is leaking again through the handbrake shaft. It's the
early version, I
think it's 35 mm in diameter. Since I have already dismantled it and cleaned three times
within the last
year, I'm about to give up and buy a new one.
However, factory-new calipers are not available here in Canada. So here are my questions:
1. are brand-new rear calipers available in the US?
2. can calipers from later models (larger diameter) be used - in pairs of course?
3. any good source for rebuilt calipers (the guys here basically just repaint old ones and
sell them
as "remanufactured", I don't want that. If I buy a remanufactured caliper, I need all
rubber, including
the o-ring that seals the handbrake shaft, to be changed).
4. I tried this before, but has anyone a source for those o-rings?
Thanks.
