    Hi all!
    This winter I'm thinking of overhauling the calipers on my 456 GT.

    Is there any place I can source an overhaul kit for the calipers? Or point me in the right direction to get new seals and dust boots for the pistons?

    Best regards

    No replies ?? These parts must be available somewhere. While I don't have immediate need eventually these almost 30 year old rubber parts will need replacement.

    Try these people.

    I don't know what year car you have, but I plugged in for a 2000 456 M and got a few hits here and there, especially pads.

    Here is what they had for calipers:

    I can't vouch for them and have no affiliation with them.

    Good luck!

    I believe the 456 had TEVES calipers and brake system with hydraulic boost vs the Brembos with vacuum boost we have on 456Ms and Maranellos. 550 parts would not be compatible. Brake cylinder diameters were 44 mm F and 36 mm R.
