<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>I<font size="2">'ve been using the repro Moss calipers for a few years now, no problems so far but I notice that they seem to maybe have a little more seal retraction than the originals.<br>
(I suspect that there may be some difference in the seal design due to the fact that that piston retraction is a function of the seal but this is only speculation, I haven't torn one down yet for inspection.)<br>
I haven't had reports of any problems with them operationally, FWIW.<br>
<br>
The big/small pin differences have been noted.<br>
<br>
Also the photo previously posted showed 2 different pads, one a full rectangular shape and the other tapered. These cars need the tapered pads to avoid uneven wear on the pads, it runs hotter & wears more towards the outer edge so less material as it gets closer to the axle evens out the wear (taper)...<br>
(note taper not to be confused with some pads designed with front to rear taper)<br>

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

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