    I just had some new wheels built for my '74 Bora and when I removed the
    old ones I noticed a small leak from the passenger side front caliper.
    It looks like it coming from one of the pistons as the lines and
    fittings are dry. Are there any Girling (or any ) rebuild kits out
    there? Is there anything special about rebuilding these calipers? I
    have done other (normal) calipers in the past with no problems.

    Thanks,
    Rick . . . .

    Rick,

    If you get the correct kit it's not a problem. But and this is a big but, please remember that this is a system that utilizes LHM not brake fluid so the rubber must be different. Typically, there's no corrosion in these systems because the LHM fluid does not absorb water as readily as brake fluid but check it out first. Yes there is a Girling kit for the fronts as well as the rears and no there's nothing special about the rebuild. It has dust boots and square cut rubber O-rings.
