Re: VGJONO's 1976 GD Galant Daily

So i was finally able to complete my brakes, ended up using just the Piston out of the spare caliper, both now have new seals, dust covers, freshly greased slides and a new coat of paint, cylinders in both have been honed aswell :) https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/102741...

Re: GD Galant Brakes, other models calipers the same?

Im rebuilding mine at the moment, my L/H one was good and ive rebuilt already, but my R/H one is severely pitted on both the cylinder walls and the piston which would make it useless to rebuild.

Re: seat rails..

Excuse the dodgy MS paint worthy diagrams but i have found GA/GB and GC/GD to be different. The GA/B ones bolt to an extrusion from either side (trans tunnel ect.) whereas the GC/D ones go to the floor where they are bolted in. http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp58/Jonomopars/Untitled-4_zps33822a4...
