Description:
1965 - 1982 Deluxe Front O-Ring Conversion Caliper Kit
Lip seal design are used on 1965 - 1982 Corvette calipers. Lip seal have inherent problems. When they sit for a period of time they leak brake fluid. When they are used on a Corvette with out of spec rotors, spindles, loose bearing or a Corvette that is driven hard : they can actually suck air into the caliper fluid area causing a loos of brake pedal. This problem is called (by GM engineers) reverse air oscillation. Because of these problems. GM quit using lip seals in 1982. O-Ring seals virtually eliminated all of these lip seal problems. If GM doesn't use lip seals anymore, why are you? Fits 2nd design Calipers Only.
