I went to install a set of disc brake calipers on my project, when I noticed one of the dust boots was torn. It might have worked fine but I decided to look for a rebuild kit to replace it. They are VARGA calipers and the first place I looked was Wolfsburg West (no luck) so I tried CIP1 - $39.99 each - WTF? For a few rubber seals and clips?

I thought about just buying a new set of calipers, but I figured I should try and use these as they were only lightly used when I bought them. I looked on the Bus Depot and found the rebuild kits for $5.41 each - now that's more like it!

Lets see some pics of the disc brake set up when you get it going. I would like to do front disc sometime.
