Hi Allan,

How did they fail?
I'm rebuilding a pair of front W123 calipers right now and they are very
simple. A metal cover that pries off, rubber seal and rubber o-ring - put
new ones in (after coating with brake fluid) and everything falls into
place. Will do the passenger side today which will hopefully be as easy as
the other was.
I have a pair of 124 calipers needing a rebuild. I shoud have ordered
kits for them when I bought the 123 kits and pads! I wish Rustys site had a
Wish List that lasted even when we log out! I often have a few small things
to order the next time I need something big but always forget about them!
Later ya'll -

Perhaps get a rebuild kit for the old caliper from Rusty - now that
you've bought some time. It might be better than the one you
bought. It's not that hard to rebuild one.
There's a 50 core refund I'd give up. Plus the cost of the kit. Not
worth it. They were rebuilds too. Only lasted 2 years.
