97 ZX9R brake caliper pistons

Post by craig mac »

Gday all.
Can anyone recommend a place where I can get hold of a set of replacement pistons for my brake calipers?
is it better to source them from o/s. They seem pretty pricey in Oz.
Any help would be great?
cheers

They're pretty corroded. Been sitting unused for 5 years. There is also some light scoring on the edges of some (brake pad side).
I'm not sure if they can be resurected.If I use a wire wheel on them will I remove any protective film, layer or treatment on the piston?
