Dave,

I had a 3 caliper seize a number of years ago and all I had to do was 
replace the pistons with SS, new seals and clean the bore with 1000 sand 
paper. Here it is over 20 years later and it is working fine.

Parts sourced at TRF.

      <div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Happy Memorial Day
        weekend and thanks to my fellow veterans.  The right front
        caliper on my TR6 has seized and I need to replace it.  I will
        probably order from Moss, but since they are closed for the
        holiday, I cannot call them to verify that their calipers
        include the piston (semi-loaded).  Does anyone know for
