Front brake caliper alternative 2WK 88' (currrent parts obsolete))
I have come across a problem with trying to rebuild my XT600's front brakes, namely the caliper and piston. The piston for the caliper is scored and requires replacement, however, the piston and seal kit I need ( 1990 Yamaha RT180A Front Brake Caliper | Yamaha Sports Plaza) is no longer available (only new old stock but I haven't found any yet). The seal kit alone is available, but without a good piston I cannot use the caliper at this stage. If I am unable to find a second hand piston from a wrecker I will need something else.
Has anyone had the same problem and found an alternative caliper to use perhaps?
I am having difficulty in determining if a caliper is suitable as the dimensions of the parts aren't available, thus there's nothing to refer too.
I have been searching the internet for possible workarounds but have had no real luck in determining a solution.
I am in Australia, therefore, the bike doesn't appear to have the same forks or brakes as those on the American models (evident on Partzilla and purchasing the wrong seals).
