NC BRAKE CALIPER PISTONS

Post by Treehouse »

Hello, I am helping a friend out with a rebuild of her NC30. we have stripped the calipers all the way down and some of the pistons are pitted . Could anyone please offer advice on sourcing good used ones or aftermarket products. I presume the genuine Honda components are very expensive.

cheers

you can get aftermarket ones from wemoto.com

genuine ones from a Honda dealer, online ones would be davidsilverspares or lings honda.

price up genuine and aftermakret first as genuine parts are not always super expesnvie

I keep the rear and the larger front pistons in stock @ £16 each including seals - there is no pattern version available for the smaller front ones.

Honda genuine parts are £30-odd each for just the piston.

If you buy the smaller front pistons from Wemoto they are genuine Honda parts for significantly less than UK list price (I think maybe they source them from the Far East where OE prices are less of a rip off)
