Can anyone on here make brake caliper pistons??

As the title says basicaly. It's either that or buy another set of calipers & risk them also needing pistons, buy new piston & seal kits at £140 for all 8 pistons & seals, buy Nissin 4 pots & have to buy new goodridge hoses 'again' & get someone to make mounting brackets. So is anyone a bit handy with a lathe or whatever you use to make such type of piston.

£140 sounds cheap to keep yourself alive.

What do u want the pistons for?? Most motorcycle applications are lightweight low compression alloy with a special coating, Cars are generally steel, but in high end cars that can be alloy.

True but everyone on my bike forum say's it's too much???. They all say get some nissin 4 pots for £50, thing is i then need everything else with them bumping the price up again. There's some stock calipers on ebay but i risk the pistons also being fooked & i'm back to square one. I guess i'll just get all 3 calipers done so they'll efectively be brand new original calipers
