Does anyone have any experience of aftermarket pots? Are they any good? Early fazer rear calipers are like hens teeth on ebay at the moment and I'm not willing to fork out £100+ for an equally rare thou caliper.Any ideas?
Hi Tommy, that's good advice from Dazzer but one of the pots was well and truly fooked!The problem being with the new disc and pads the pots have to go all the way home for everything to fit inside the caliper.One was badly corroded and deeply pitted to the point where it wouldn't seal properly. Being a cheapskate I've decided to fork out a fiver for new seals and have a go at turning a new pot. (see pic) I've given them a spray of Halfords caliper paint too for good measure.Hopefully it'll work out ok, I'll find out when I get her back on the road.
For me, one or two times a year, on a warm sunny day, i sit on a stool and with a toothbrush, a can of brake cleaner (NOT degreaser spray), then some red rubber grease, and i will spend however long it takes to give the pots a clean up, front and rear.It can sometimes take up to 4 hours with all the poncing about clamping calipers and also doing it whilst everything is still attached to the brake lines, but it's a VERY worthwhile and satisfying job, that not only keeps them functioning perfectly but the rubber grease keeps the nastiness at bay, so you can go for years doing the same thing without any need for a major overhaul.
