Today I popped the calipers off my 72 because they were bleeding a little. The car has been sitting for years, so the fact that they are dripping a little is not a huge issue.
But, when I opened the caliper up, it has brass sleeves. I know stainless steel (SS) was a pretty popular fix a number of years ago, but I have not heard much about brass.
They are in great shape with no wear pattern of any kind.This might be partially due to the fact that the car has only had 3,000 put on it sense 1978.
My plan is to do a very light hone and put new seals in them.
Why brass versus SS?
Is one a ton better than the other?
