When sorting out my front brakes, I have had to strip the calipers and give them a bit of a spring clean.. Sorted out the left one (with the anti-dive) and them went to look at the right one..

The pistons on the LHS seem to be smaller than the RHS.

LHS are resin pistons with a steel cap.
RHS pistons are steel with a steel insert in the end and are bigger in diameter than the resin ones....

Surely this couldn't be correct.. Maybe someone could throw some light on this..

stock 24 calipers have same pistons in both, just the brakcets are different as the one of the anti-dive side has bracket to connect it to anti-dive

either rpelacmeent pistons or a wrong calper

Thanks for the reply.. I guess I'll have to have a look for a RHS caliper for an NC24...

pistons being resin they never usually fail unless they become stuck due to shitty seals and somebody molegrips them out

you can see some stock calipers here

Yep, seen the resin pistons and was careful not to damage them.. they were stuck tight but plumbed in some fluid and carefully pushed them both out hydraulically.. They were in good shape, so just a cleanup and reinstall..

If anyone would have a decent caliper for the rhs, I would be interested in having a chat..

From CMSNL, the Part number is 45200-ML0-723 for the RHS caliper for the NC24..
Would anyone have a cross reference to what else would use these calipers??

nothing use uses the same caliper, NC21 caliper might fit, I think its the same.

ML0 is part number for NC21/NC24

Thanks for the help.. I'll keep on the lookout...
