Rear caliper piston

Great place to get your calipers refurbished. Here is a link that shows how to repair your caliper.

I had too many other things to work on when getting ready for Preservation award and performing a major service.. So, I sent all four of my brakes to Goldline Brakes in Washington state for a complete rebuild. They know ATE brake calipers. Cost about 600.00. They can have them plated also, at extra cost. I had mine walnut shell blasted to maintain the patina.

They came back and all work great. I will be doing the same with my 69 Alfa 1750 Spider Veloce.

 

Thanks for the video link. Our rear calipers handbrake mechanism is a great example for a most complex design resulting in most poor performance.
For those folks here, who always blame the Italians and praise german car brands I am glad, tht these calipers were invented by german ATE for Porsche.
I myself tend to blame Porsche, who wanted ATE design a caliper with the handbrake acting on the discs. A big error. My Alfa from 1972 already has rear discs with an integrated drum handbrake mechanism... like Ferrari introduced in 1985 with the 328.
