He goes by hemi71 I believe? I bought a set of refurbished lower control arms from him and they were VERY nice! Last I knew, he had a set of redone K-H calipers in the for sale section over there.

Thank you for the "heads up" on the quality of my work. To the OP. Pretty much Rock Auto has the caliper parts you would be seeking. Pistons, rebuild kits, pads, pad hold down clips. If you need hard lines, pick your poison, Fine Lines, Inline Tube, Classic Tube. Calipers themselves, are pretty much out of stock these days. Not enough "cores" are out there anymore, to be put back into service. Yes, i do have a rebuilt pair of them that are up for sale. RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

The piston seal is in the top bore of the caliper body, and not on the piston itself. Don't worry about it, if caliper bores have pitting, after you sandpaper them up, cleaning them up. Bad caliper bores in the BENDIX, and BUDD, disc brake systems, require sleeving, if they are bad, due to their piston design, and sealing. Kelsey Hayes, is a good design.
