Good work from Powerhouse, get all my brake piston and seals from them, never a problem and fit perfect. 2 small points. When i do a caliper re-paint/coating i use an old banjo bolt and copper washer in the feed hole, why? Well i do not want any paint on the sealing surface of the joint, Dot 3/4 will get onto this paint and strip it, it will also get under the surrounding paint and make a mess Eventually. I do the same with Dot5 fluid as well as i get a perfect seal. Second i never use Stainless bolts to hold brake calipers on only High tensile correct bolts and a SMALL amount of semi perm threadlock. Same for ant safety critical fasteners. All in all, £200 is a good price, hope you fitted new pads and pin? These are similar calipers to the ones on my K4 Bandit. they need a lot of looking after to keep them working well and not sticking. every 1000 miles or so i remove them from forks only, take out pads and scrub them out with a ph neutral detergent pumping the pistons out a bit and pushing back with my fingers to get as much crud off the dust seals as possible, final dry with air and a small amount of red rubber grease around the seal before fully pushing back.
