O-ring seal conversion for brake calipers

[Jabby]

Hi all,

Has anyone had experience with these O-ring seal conversion kits, good or bad?

Thanks,

Jabby

There's thousands of owners who have converted to o-rings and even more that can't be bothered, like me.

Like synthetic oil, K&N filters, poly bushings, DOT5 fluid, etc you'll hear lots of opinions on either side insisting that the other guy is wrong.

Yawn, time for a beer.

I used the VBP o-ring pistons on my '72 verts brakes. I liked them well enough to convert my coupe to them. In both cases, I needed new pistons. If I hadn't needed new pistons, I'd probably would have stayed with the regular lip seals. The o-rings pistons do install easier than the lip seal pistons.
