I've had wonderful success with these, I purchased 4 years ago, and my brakes have never been better on my 84 Westy.


I did have to modify the brake line to make them fit right, but it was cheap and easy with a replacement rigid line from my FLAPS.

I have my calipers out and, checking the machined piston surfaces, have
found that all four are rusty (mine are the ATE calipers).


I'm considering my options for rebuilds, etc.


Busdepot apparently sells brand new calipers:

http://www.busdepot.com/251615108


Are these actual ATE brand calipers?  Or what are they?  Any experiences?
Thanks!
Wes
