It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

I've decided to stick with the standard one. I rebuilt it with new seals and braided line and it's been much better. Was a cheaper option than trying to get a thou one.
 
Just know there are a few others on the look out for one.

I don't see what the big deal is, if you give the caliper a good scrub and regrease it 2 or 3 times a year it'll function perfectly well?
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

That's just blatant neglect, they must've parked their bike in the sea to get that bad!!
