While I much prefer OEM parts in spots, on caliper rebuild, I got a note it's on backorder shipping later July.
Canceled that and went with Brakecrafters.com.....
I thought some of you have used them....Good kit?

Dude,
Great product for the rear. I had oem lines on front with HD duece risers and thr brake crafters came up short by a couple inches. Send me an email and I show you a picture. Ended up with Spiegler for front and I was able to add length.

Rebuilt all of my calipers with brakecrafter parts, all working fine 2 years later, maybe 10,000 miles. Rebuilt my masters as well with their parts. I had a seized up front caliper and decided if one went the others will probably follow so rebuilt at my leisure as a opposed to oh no the brakes don't work right.

I am rebuilding calipers and was wondering about the seals and dust rings.

I just finished rebuilding the rear caliper on my Standard using the Brakecrafters kit a few minutes ago, and did the same to my Interstate a couple of weeks ago. All the parts appeared to be of good quality.
