Pitted Caliper Pistons
I just put together a little piece on removing & inspecting brake calipers. Looks like I will be ordering new pistons for mine as 3 out of 4 are pitted. I already have new rings and seals.

Are the pistons something that can be obtained through normal auto parts sources? Like, maybe, for a 1976 Torino?
