Guys

Calipers on the Rallye are yellow. Aside from the fact it's not std, I'm not overly in love with it as a colour anyhow...

So, the calipers will be coming off and getting stripped and cleaned and I might as well redo the zinc plating on them. Believe the calipers and carriers were bright zinc, rather than a yellow finish. Am worried about the piston bores though. It there any danger that replating the calipers will cause clearance issues with the piston cylinder and the bore it sits in? Appreciated, plating is a very, very thin coating but just wondering...

Cheers

Played plenty of calipers, I reckon I still have a full set in stock should you want to buy them, I sent them to a standard platers.
