First q is, are renault 19 16v calipers same as valver ones?

And also where can I get hold of a caliper re-seal/refurb kit? I need some new calipers, so thought Id buy some 2nd hand ones and refurb em! How hard is this to do?

Oops just did a search and a refurb seems to be a daft idea by all accounts, so if I do get some 2nd hand calipers anything to look out for/do before I fit em?

dont bother, by the time you have bought some 2nd hand ones, and then the seal kits, it will be cheaper to just buy a refurb one in the first place

What Brun said. And there's no guarantee that the refurb you do will be as good as the refurbed ones that are already done, plus they come with a warranty.

Well just bought some calipers and braided front lines for £15!! bargain. Some muppet as painted the calipers gold though (or tried to) so just using some paint stripper to get that shit off!

Looking just under the seal on the piston there is a little bit of dirt there, is this a worry or normal?
