850 Destruction

[dablik]

Been busy then.   Good to see.  Some of those valve heads are well pitted eh, looks like rust one the one in the workbench, wonder how that happened ?

 

Lemme know if a standard oil seal will replace the ones from the rear caliper halves please, ta. :good:

 

Keep up the good work.

 

It looks like scale and it's rock hard, unless it's carbon burned white !! some of the valves are pitted, may have to clean up the other set and see what them is loike, defo dont want to be buying fookin new ones at 50 splongs a go, because the whole lot may as well get done and that's a bit rich even for me.

there is a rear caliper rebuild kit available which includes that small rubber O ring seal which was previously 'not available'.  The kit i bought includes stainless steel pistons.

 

Will have a look at these pistons and see if they cant be polished, otherwise more spendies, wont shift without air though, the small seals are flat sided looking at them so dont think you could put a regular seal instead..
