Nothing too interesting, just thought i would show my progress.

Got the ST185 2 pots for cheap off ebay, but they were slightly sorry state!! Well rusted! Had to get the gas on one to free the sliders!!!

Anyway, i sent them off to be shotblasted and powder coated (green) and got them back other day wahoo :D

So i borrowed my uncles honing tool, cleaned up the bores quicker (they were pretty damn good anyway) gave the pistons a quick clean and rebuilt with the seal kit.

With the inner seals in and greased up:

And then with the outer seals on:

Just got to fit the pistons now, but cant do that on own. Well, have in the past, but its a real akward job with only having 2 hands!!

very nice. fitting pisitons is a bit of an art. making sure the outer seal goes on properly is the worst bit.

mine are almost ready to fit. just need to get the disks and pads and new lines and ill be fitting them
