rear calipers (MX5)
I just picked up some rear calipers for my build. A bargain (I hope) from ebay. I have a had a look over them and started cleaning them up but...... I moved the handbrake attachment to see if the piston moved (on both calipers) and they didn't move. The levers move but the pistons didn't really budge. Does anyone know if the rear calipers rely on being full of brake fuid before they move. ie is it a form of hydraulic handbrake? I dont think there is anything wrong with the calipers. They seem to be in visual conditions. Thanks David
