Re: caliper refurb kit etc

 

 

Brakes international have all the kits and exchange calipers and new calipers. Have used them a few times. Great service.

Rear-wheel cylinders and brake shoes, drums and discs also sold.

Look under 'Mercedes' and then  'G-Glass' and 'G-Wagen': The company has somewhat mixed up the models: I think G-Class refers to 463 ans G-wagen refers to 460.

Note that the G has two types of front calipers (Perrot and ATE). Each has its own different pistons and seal kits. Also, the Perrots came with either single brake-line attachment  (463)  or twin (460), so choose right version

The company sells ready-rebuilt Perrot calipers as well as the kits for Perrot and ATE.

The rebuilt calipers have been totally shot-blasted, striped, and bright zinc plated and fitted with new bolts. These are done by Budweg. However, it's pot luck whether you get ones with a smooth surface or ones that is more dimpled by previous rust, as they they mostly originate from the MB vans. However, with the bright-zinc plating, they all look fine. Only an issue if you wish to paint then gloss-black. I think also completely new calipers by Brake Engineering are also available, but I've only bought rebuilt Perrots and ATE parts.

For Perrot calipers, the piston and seal kits are also available from an MB dealer. For ATE, only the outer dust-seal kit/
