How are the two parts of calipers reassembled after refurbs
I'm not an MGB expert so I may be wrong, but the usual caliper uses no
sealing compound, a square section O ring that's hard to find and
special torque-to-yield bolts that must only be used once, and must be
re-assembled with a torque wrench.
No idea if this works for MGBs, but if you need rebuild parts for a
Herald caliper then you can get them off the shelf from a Land Rover
dealer (or at a great deal of time and trouble from a Triumph
specialist). Classic RangeRover calipers use the same parts.
It's an easy re-assembly, but you do need to replace that O ring and the
bolts.
