 What Bob says is true, the caliper bodies themselves are reusable, all you=
 need are new pistons and seals.=C2=A0 However, there are two versions in t=
he TR6 line so make sure you get the right ones.=C2=A0 The 76 will definite=
ly use the later style.

  Dave, I had a 3 caliper seize a number of years ago and all I had to do w=
as 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.=20
