hoghead, I had the same gripes awhile ago, and the only way I found them was in a kit w/piston about $45 USD too. I tried Porsche dealers in US, and they said they can only get them w/pistons also
. I was told the pistons must be changed w/seals, or the new seals will leak
. The pistons are teflon coated for heat and friction that would add a little cost to your $8.00 USD fabbed pistons. I did find out (the hard way) they make two different piston and seal types. My calipers use the pistons with a large groove machined in them to hold the dust boot/seal in place, and came off a '88T (have pic's of both seal, and piston types, side by side). The other type has no groove at all, and the seal has no dust boot. Someone from across the pond chimmed in on my old post about the seals, and said he could get just the seals, but I had already ordered all
SIXTEEN
kits to rebuild mine after I powder coated them.
I broke down and ordered my kit's from
www.944online.com and dealt with Steve (sales manager/IT tech). He was very understanding, and good to deal with. I called them with my order, instead of online, so I could ask questions.
