Hi Jim,

I didn't see in Bentley or Haynes that it said not to separate the calipers. 
Can you tell me where 
it is in Bentley?

I will zip Nelson's stuff and send it to you. His comments about there not 
being any difference 
between the 16P and 16PB calipers in terms of which pistons and dust covers to 
use are incorrect. 
There is a difference between the 16P and 16PB calipers. You can not use a 16PB 
piston in a 16P 
caliper. At least not the 16P calipers that are on my TR250. I believe Girling 
must have been making 
the later style calipers for a while (16PB) but labeling them 16P. It appears 
that's what Nelson was 
working with -- a 16P caliper but it had a 16PB style lip for the piston's dust 
cover.

Thanks,

Don Malling
