Decent source for TR-6 brake calipers?
Hi- does anyone know of a decent source for TR-6 brake calipers ? After about 5 months of being stationary,
I went to pull my TR-6 / Ford out of the garage and the pedal went almost to the floor. I noticed some liquid on the backside of the caliper, so at his point it's just a strong hunch on my part.... hope to get the car up in the air soon so I can take a better look. Thanks, for any help Doug P.S I'm in Northern Nevada |

Moss have pretty much everything for the TR6.
[www.mossmotors.com] I parked my TR6 outside for 5 years. When I revived it last month the brakes needed nothing. Why? Because before I parked it I always changed the Dot 4 fluid every year. Fresh fluid = no water = no corrosion = no leaks. Otoh I hadn't changed the clutch fluid for about 3 years - the master was weeping and the slave was positively dripping watery rusty fluid. Just a thought. Ivor Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/22/2017 07:52AM by 88v8. |

Thanks, Ivor !
I had tried my usual sources, everything was " not available." I will definitely keep Moss Motors on my list of resources ! Doug |

Moss Motors had the parts- Very reasonably priced, amazingly quick delivery. Turned out that there was a
seepage from left caliper, and the master cylinder was bypassing as well. ( Moss had that too- calipers, master cylinder, hoses, pads and install kit all brand new, not refurb.) Moss gets my 5 star award ! Doug |
