Default Brake Caliper Rebuild Kits

Some time back I purchased a full set of used front and rear brake calipers from someone on Ebay. I did a tear down of the calipers and have had these powder coated and now I am in the need of caliper rebuild kits being I am not going to use the old seals, boots , etc. (The pistons are being reused)

I have gone to the local Ford dealers and they only sell new or rebuilt calipers. The only hardware they sell is for the pads and the boots for the caliper slide bolts.

The few auto parts store I have checked with are not showing any kits for the 2005 and up Mustangs. Seems that most people do not rebuild thier calipers anymore and buy rebuilt units to save time.

The question I have is does anyone on MF know of a make and part number for the front and rear rebuild kits.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

There is no such beast. I did this same thing last year, and found out there's no rebuild kit. My guy put them back together with the OEM parts.... wasn't the best idea... both rear calipers weren't able to maintain pressure and they're not back to my stocker, non-powdercoated ones.

I'm saving for a big brake kit replacement now... not sure why Ford expects us to buy whole new calipers.

Great news, This weekend I found a company making the front and rear rebuild kits. Carlson Brake Parts makes the kits, part # 41247 and 41248. I have these on order and will have them by Tuesday.
