Howdy
I have been a member for 18 years, but this is only my second post. I have two 65 convertibles.
Two months ago, as the weather got hotter here in southern California, both of my front brake caliper's piston seals failed within one day of each other! The calipers were converted to SS many years ago by the previous owner. I have owned the roadster since March of 2003 and this is the second time I have had to replace caliper piston seals. I am using DOT 3 synthetic brake fluid. Is this correct?
Has anyone else experienced caliper piston seal failure "regularly" due to temp or humidity?
Thanks,
