Anybody have a supplier for Kelsey Hayes brake caliper pistons for 68 Barracuda. Found 1 on ebay but probably going to need 8.
Both have some nice product but I'm really only looking for the rebuild parts.
I like the ideal of using the stainless steel pistons but the stock steel ones would be fine too. Just need to find them.
You can get rebuilt calipers on exchange from Centric. A shop/custormer of mine got these for under $70 each his costs. Can't remember the price very well, may be even less.

Can you find out what parts store he got them through??? Centric does not sell direct...... Mark
Those are nice too. Trying to keep original parts on this 383 Barracuda not sure if there is any date coding on these calipers.
I like those Centric are they Kelsey Hayes rebuilt by Centric or do they have there own casting. I would be interested in knowing who carries those too.
Good resources. Anyone know where to get stainless steel pistons? And is it difficult to hone the bores? Should this be done by a professional?
The 4 pistons will perform better than the newer single piston ones.
I need the 4 bolts that hold the caliper on....... any ideas??
I have a complete set of hardware at home for the setup I just picked up. I'll try and get you some measurements later tonight...if no one know off the cuff.
I thought there were a lot of problems with them?
No problems, have a set on a 66 and 68 Cudas going on at least 10 years now. Redone by SSBC
The reason pistons have trouble are the same reasons they have trouble on Corvettes. You need to go to the garage and pump the brake pedal when not in use. I do mine 2 times a month. Or get the stainless ones mentioned same fix for Corvettes and I never have had trouble with either.
Is that a known fact about the stainless pistons correcting the sticking issue? I assumed it would and wanted to rebuild mine with stainless pistons for that reason.
