316 grade is being used because the 304 grade, although cheaper, is more time consuming to machine to exact spec, due to the fact they have to be made slightly oversized and then 'ground' down......
This grade of stainless is very hard wearing and far more resistant to corrosion and pitting like the 304 grade does after 2-3 years of use...
iv'e also sourced new Bleed screws made up in the same grade of Stainless, which are excellent quality too...
All other bolts can also be replaced in A4 stainless.... including the stupid rusty bolt that secures the 'H Clip' with the flimsy retaining pin...
I no longer supply these individually... i buy them in sets and so must be fitted as a set!...
Price is currently £200 per set..(8)..which is only £25 per piston!........not bad considering they are currently £47 (38.1mm) £41 (41mm) for the Alcon/ford supplied ones...
pm me for ordering...
