They are actually cast iron, not steel. But just as `light'....

should I junk the camira calipers and just get some metro calipers? they seem cheap enough (ebay UK) The main reason that I went with the camira option is because I don't want the hassle of alignment and bump steer that you will get from the metro hubs. But I really like the idea of 4 pots. |

Don't think metros will be cheap. They weigh a ****** tonne too, so postage will be expensive from the UK. If you get crap ones, you'll need new seal sets ($70) and possibly new pistons (20 somethin each). My metros get painted tomorrow, and I've already got all new seals, pistons, bleeders, I need the fittings to get to the master cylinder too. |

Meeni, metro pistons are smaller than S ones, and since there's 8 of them, they don't really work out cheaper in total.

You can get either standard S ones (hardchrome) or S/S. Personally I like the standards- they are $16 vs $24, chrome is harder than SS, and they'll take another 25 years to rust anyhow.
