I've rebuilt the brakes on my 325 Sport with a lick of paint and new seals, however, when they were stripped down I made a right mess of the original pistons getting them out of the seized caliper!!!!
I've been trying to track down some replacements with little success (even BMW only sell the caliper complete at about £150 each!!!!), anyone know a good brake supplier specialist who would have them in stock?

Ive seen stainless replacement pistons for older BMW's, may have been Fritz bits?

Cheers guys,
I've managed to find a trader on ebay called Big Red who specialises in brake rebuild parts for various cars.
Two new pistons for about £18 each, incase anyone else needs them........Sorted

ECP used to do recon calipers on an exchange basis for about £50 each, new seal and nice and shiny.
