Calipers

[HB95Vette]

Just replaced the rotors and pads on the front of my 95 and while I was at it saw that the dust boot on one of the passenger side caliper's pistons was missing. Is there any way replace the boot or any point in trying it or should I just put a pair of rebuilt calipers on instead?
If I go with rebuilt calipers, does anyone have any advice? I saw NAPA has rebuilts for about $65 per... anyone know if they're any good? Any other sources?
Also, as long as I'm doing the job, anywhere I can get braided hoses just for the front? I guess I could get all four, but I'm cheap and won't be using the rears for a while!
Thanks for the advice!

I recently did my calipers and they just cost $45 each for rebuilds. The original calipers' bleed valves were just locked. I couldn't turn them at all. I kept trying and the valve actually broke off.

I got mine from a place called Murray's.

You could also try Jason: www.vette2vette.com if you don't want to spring for new parts. I've always been treated very well by him and even got a Christmas card in the mail from him!

They have caliper rebuild kits with piston seals and dust boots.

You be the judge about just replacing the one dust boot.

The folks at Muskegon Brake were fantastic to me. I don't see calipers for your car listed online, but call or write them for advice.
