Brake parts

[Ryan Powell]

Im looking for the bias ring that slips on the caliper, and the other end is in the brake piston. Need two of them.

Ryan, I have 4 that are in good shape that you can have, or you can get a caliper rebuild kit from Rock Auto Parts.com relatively cheap.

Is this for real?

100% real. They also sell right side fully rebuilt calipers, but left side is unavailable.

I've called rock auto and they have the 1 side but not the other.   I have emailed the company that does the re manufacturing directly and they state they can do a rebuild and return service (R&R) still as long as your originals are in decent shape but you have to go through a authorized dealer for them like napa, car quest, oriellys...Ect.
Prices for rebuild return will depend on the price quoted by the store you select but like I said I have spoken to cardone and they state usually 80% of what they receive is rebuildable. They just don't have the cores in stock to do a exchange program.
They also stated they can do master cylinders as well.
I just spoke with rock auto and cardone in the last week so this is current.

Sorry I should have also clicked on the link to see what u were talking about.  I assumed it was the full rebuild calipers.  Thats what my first response was about.
As for the seals themself.  Yes I ordered 2 sets in the last week and installed them without issue.  They matched what was installed on my calipers exactly.

If anyone is able to get a master cylinder rebuilt by Cardone,  let me know.  I contacted them about 3 years ago and they indicated they could rebuild them.  I sent them the master cylinder and they told me they did not have the parts.  I asked them which Honda 600 master cylinders parts they had and they replied they had nothing.  I spent a bunch of money on shipping for nothing.  I got the impression they don't always know what parts are needed to rebuild a brake or master cylinder until they see your unit and they attempt to match it to some generic inventory of parts.

Back about 5 years ago I had some calipers rebuilt by Centric through my local
auto part store. I took them apart when I got them to see what was inside.
They came back with brand new pistons and seals/boots and a different style bias ring.
I thought Great! only $35 ea lets send in 10.
When I got them back they did not have new pistons.
They had my old rusty pistons which they ground the pits out of. I managed to get some of my money
back and salvaged 2 sets  and some new seals but the other rebuilds were garbage.
The only place besides me and Mike I ever heard of rebuilding master cylinders was White Post in
White Post VA. I don't know what they charge but my last price was $250.00 and they looked like
factory original with gold zinc fittings etc.

Yeah forget those big places send all your brake parts to http://brakecylinder.com/  Sierra Specialty Automotive.  They have been fixing irreplaceable brake parts for decades.

Hmm... I just looked on Sierra Specialty Automotive's web site and it appears that they are retiring and ceasing operations. (Scroll about midway down their main web page.)
