Hey all,
Getting ready to put my A type calipers back together. Got a couple of questions. 1) Is this the correct orientation of the dust seal (see seal on right)? 2) Is the retaining ring in the right place and does it matter where the two ends are (blue arrow) and should there be a small (1/8") gap? 3) What is the suggested orientation of the notch in the piston (green circle)? |

Thanks for the info Eric. In regards to the area where the pad will sit; How did they finish these from the factory? These were rusty and the pads were stuck in that gap. It's no big deal to media blast the paint back off (so far only the rear sides have been painted). If I get these zinc plated do I also do the pistons?
