I've cleaned up the cylinders with wet and dry sandpaper - just a bit of surface rust - nothing too major. Have to replace the pads too as the overheating caused them to break up - the disk/rotor seems to be ok - I've put a dial guage on it and it seems to be straight enough. Thanks for the responses and thanks to Ron for the suggestion on his Swem site about using hydraulic pressure to push the pistons out - it made life a lot easier. -- 1967 131, 1969 131, 1973 Triumph GT6, 1977 Volvo 245 DL Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
