I see you didn't fully disassemble the calipers before cleaning and powder coating, did you have to take any special precautions to protect the piston etc?
I was about to take mine apart before realising how difficult that is so this seems like a much better option. 🙂 Did you do the work yourself or send them out? If so who did you use?
cheers

The calipers where completely dissembled and new pistons and seals installed after painting. Piston key was got Elsie parts.

not sure what powder coating was used as got a specialist firm to do them. same guy that done the exhaust coating. Was told it would peel or fade .

It’s around 3000km .we change the oil regularly and check for ant metal. Our 1st and 2nd gear problem was causedb by the previous driver if seq box driven correctly damaged will be minimal . It needs good sharp changes and flat shift set up correctly .
