Brembo caliper rebuild
Would like to use new seals/rubbers for the brembo calipers, does anyone know what the size pistons they have? As far as I can see it looks we have the F40 style calipers with 44/38mm pistons is that correct?
Edit: May have found it, Centric 143.03004 should be right for the fronts, anyone ever tried these (or others)?

I rebuilt the sticking driver side front caliper on my 1992 XJ6 using a Centric kit about a month ago and it has worked well.
Initially I had to take the piston out again because I couldn't get the dust boot on and when the piston was removed there was a 4 cm long thin sliver off of the new square seal which had been shaved off. I removed that sliver and then reiserted the piston in the caliper and it has worked well since. Getting the dust boot on was a little tricky.
