Last year after thirty years of use, a front caliper on the TR3 finally leaked. I rebuilt both calipers with a TRF kit and the brakes worked fine for the summer. This summer the car pulled to the right, quite violently if braked hard at speed.
I bled the left caliper and the car still pulls to the right, but not as badly. I have used silicone fluid in this car for more than twenty years without a problem. I did not, however, replace the old brake hoses. I cleaned and reused the old caliper pistons and one pair was somewhat pitted. I will replace the hoses and rebuild with another kit, but am wondering if I should replace the pistons.
