While testing the twin-port's working condition using air-pressure, i discovered that one of the caliper isn't working properly, or can say, isn't working at all. So we had to force the piston out by attaching the caliper onto mango's master pump and use the brake fluid's force to push the piston out.
And what came into our eyes was super dirty+rusty fluid and piston. this two really need a lot of cleaning to make them work fine.
A comparation of the piston, left-clean and polished, right, un-touch.
all the piston after went through my polish machine.
look at it shine, this port won't giving me trouble for some time to come ^.^ just need some rubber grease and it's good to go.
After setting the caliper into the nitric phosphorus solution (rust cleaner) and waiting for the rubber seal and cover to soften themselves in the paraffin solution, i get my hand on painting the caliper with metallic paint. Try to use those which is use for car's body paint, which cost around RM12~16/250ml. This type would last longer under tremendous heat condition.

Actually bro, if you're going for Silver or Gold color, the RM5 paint will do. Brands like Anchor, etc will suffice.
We've tested and running for many years di. BUT only gold and silver.
开始准备了？？？
哈哈哈。。。
很期待呢！！！
ic ic~ thanks bro ;) really help me save on some bucks for a few km's of fuel for mango~ ^.^ ~ your silver banana running silver caliper as well?
