We don`t have these on the Euro versions, so I`m guessing it can be eliminated but I`m a fan of keeping these cars reasonably original. If you retain it and there is corrosion in the bore that won`t go with a light hone you will need to get the unit resleeved-locally we get them done in stainless. The pistons are easy to make up in a lathe if you have access-again I would turn out of stainless rod, but I would first of all give them a rub in wet and dry to see if they come up better. Those seals don`t look particularly unusual. surely you guys have a brake specialist/remanufacturer like us that has an extensive range of seals-they are all made to a handful of diameters so it is the shape and depth that you need to match up. If stuck I can provide the details of a local firm that I deal with. We`ve been making do with and rebuilding things down here you guys wouldn`t even think was possible.
