[T3] To rebuild or not to rebuild

[Henrik Larsson <notchback@home.se>]

I had a look at the brake calipers today on my 1968 Notch. The outside
of the calipers look battered, with broken bleeder valves and so on.
When I removed the brake pads I noted that there were no "piston
retaining plates" present at all and that only the two outer pistons
have the cut-out for the "piston retaining plates".

I have access to professionally rebuilt calipers at a reasonable cost. I
just wonder if I should try to rebuild my own calipers to save some
money. If the "piston retaining plates" are necessary, then I would need
two new pistons and then it seems easier to buy the rebuilt calipers.

Note: "Piston retaining plate" is the words used in Bentley section 2
page 18.
