Hi Larry,
Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
I agree with you in principal, but there are lots of other parts in the
brake system that are not stainless -- like all of the rest of the
system. So I guess the question is: if none of the rest of the system is
stainless, is there a reason the caliper pistons should/must be, and
were the original pistons stainless?
I intended to buy stainless and I thought I was buying stainless, for
the reasons you mentioned, but they are not -- so the question is should
I go to the trouble of returning them to ensure that this single piece
of my brake system is stainless? My intuition says it probably doesn't
make much difference. But again, I agree with you in principal, and it
would not be the first time my intuition was wrong :-)
