Rear Brake Caliper Pistons (Page 1/2)

Does anyone have a source for NEW rear brake caliper pistons for '85, '86, & '87 models? Summit Racing & Rack Auto don't have them and can't get them any longer. Centric & Raybestos evidently stopped making them.

I just looked at Summit, RockAuto, Amazon, etc and everywhere I look, it is "Out of Stock".......

Really frustrating that they made 370,000 Fieros and yet noone bothers to carry a lot of parts for it- yet the MR2 is supported by a number of companies even tho they only built a small number of them.

That's the problem. No one has the Pistons for the left rear. I was on the back order let at Summit for 7-weeks before they told me they couldn't get it from Raybestos or Centric. No longer being made but they still show "Out of stock".

I rebuilt my rear pistons (88 brakes on an 85 SE).....Silicoan86 found the inner seals in another vehicles piston rebuild kit from Centric; PN 14362008

It is a bit of work but has worked for me for a couple of years. He went thru all of the steps to disassemble and rebuild the pistons/calipers...Look up "1988 rear brake caliper internal seals found"

I believe the internal seals are the same between the 84-87 and the 88s.....(And the steps are the same also)

Because the 88s are so rare, I have been picking up 88 brake calipers in the JYs as spares for the Golden Gate Fiero Club- Noone should allow 88 calipers to go to the crusher- Grab them because they are becoming "Gold".....
