[Tigers] Brake project, painting the discs

[coolvt at aol.com]

Jay,
All I'm saying is that a Tiger piston might sell for $20. If a Ford Focus took the exact same size it might sell for $6.  With the hundreds of different disc brakes that have been produced over 50-60 years you would think that there might be a match somewhere. That's all I was suggesting.  Not interesting in finding a "better" or more "modern" version. Just a more  common, lower priced version.

I’m not sure what you are thinking of when you say “modern”.  It is just a metal puck with smooth sides, and a groove on the top edge to match the dust cover.  I don’t see anything that can be improved.

That Volvo piston doesn't sound like it would be any less expensive than the Tiger. It seemed to me that with all of the vehicles using disc brakes over the past 50 years that there has to be something that used a piston with dimensions that matched the Tiger's. Something more modern and easily available.

I recall there was a Volvo that used the same piston but it was stainless steel???  It seems it was the 120, 130, 220 and some 1800 series. This was a quick find so research further.  http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/brakes/brake-calipers/piston-brake-caliper/1010679/
