[Fot] Has anybody ran these new brake calipers?

[Charly]

Description below:



This is a 100% Brand New Caliper with Stainless Steel 316 Pistons in the 16P Style for Triumph TR3B, 
TR4,TR4A from CT4690 (wire wheels) & CT4388 (steel wheels),TR250, TR6 to (CC81078) 8/72, Why go 
through the trouble of having calipers pistons done in 316 Stainless, because it is the best! 316 
Grade Stainless is Marine grade stainless steel which give a higher level of finish compared to other 
stainless steel. And Marine grade has a higher leved of Molybdenum which means better corrosion 
resistant to sea water and chloride (Road Salt). And to top it off the 316 Grade Stainless Steel has 
a greater thermal barrier, which keeps the heat out of your brake fluid



I have purchased a pair of the reproduction calipers when I cooked my 16p set. I used them one 
weekend and I didn't like the feel compared to the real ones. I rebuilt my 16p's and put the copies 
on a differnt car. Them seem to be okay on that car, maybe because I'm not using them as hard.
