Ate brake caliper pistons
« on: September 23, 2024, 09:26:02 AM »
Does anyone know of a source for replacement brake caliper pistons for the early R65 Ate calipers.  I remember Tony Smith making his own from stainless steel so I presume Ate spares are difficult to find.

Motobins had them at one time, doesn't appear to be the case today .
There is an after market BMW parts company in the US that has replacement pistons looks like they are aluminum .
