Disc Brake Maintenance Tips and Tricks

[chad]

i have a 1981 avanti . one of the DUNLOP calipers are leaking at the piston. is there a place i can buy a rebuilt one or a kit? also pads? thank u

I buy pads from Nostalgic in Michigan: 248-349-4884 (I had bad luck when I tried some from a local parts store)

    ...I expect they also carry front wheel cylinders and/or rebuild kits
