Morning guys,
I'm currently assisting a neighbour as he wants to get into bikes. We bought an old non-running T plate GS500E for pennies and I've got it running beautifully, have stripped, cleaned and bled the front brake and have now moved onto the rear...sadly the caliper is shagged so it's going to be a replacement. Wheres the best place for a decent replacement? I've looked on eBay but they all look just as old and crusty as the one I've taken off!
I've considered just rebuilding this one but the slider pins are so rusty I couldn't even get them out with heat and had to split the caliper in two, and they're still firmly wedged in the other half of the caliper, and the pistons are seized solid and the seals are visible around the pistons!
Any advice?
Dave
