How rusty
Hi WCA, it all depends on the surface of the piston. As long as the caliper body has cleaned up perfectly, and the rusting to the piston can be removed without leaving any surface damage/pitting then you should be fine. Rest assured we will all agree that if there is any surface pitting to the caliper bodies or pistons, it will cause premature wear or possible leakage to the new seals. In reality, right or wrong, after 37 years in the Motor trade, I have seen tens of kits fitted, and fitted four or five kits myself to cars including a 67 Mustang, and none failed. Ok wise guys, no jokes about flat faces! They all stopped when asked even under very abusive use, so as I said, as long as the surfaces clean up without pitting you should be fine.
Keep going your doing well. I have the fun of stripping and refurbing my suspension, steering and brakes very shortly!
Regards Rocker.
