[T3] Caliper Type and bleeders?

[William Jahn]

* I got the caliper kits today, the only place that had the entire kit was
ISP West. These are FTE now owned by Valeo says FAG on the outer seals.
Looks like a decent kit. *

* I have no idea how I'm going to clean the calipers other than a wire
brush to get the surface rust off and perhaps use wet dry paper and brake
fluid to polish the pistons and bores. I guess I could use denatured
alcohol to wash them off after since I don't have a wash tank . This is
once I get around to doing this , first I want to get the bleeders working.
I don't like brake clean.   *
