Re: Non Stainless Steel Brake Caliper Pistons

["Bob Fabie" <RFabie@erols.com>]

Don:
If you are using  DOT5 (silicone) there is far less need, if any, to use
stainless pistons. As I have learned from others on the list, brake fluid,
even the low moisture type sold by Castrol, absorbs moisture which
eventually corrodes the back and sides of the caliper pistons.

I have also recently rebuilt my entire front end, including new brakes, but
I used non stainless steel pistons because I run silicone for all my
hydraulics.

Hope this helps.
