	A Brembo slider repair kit is available from Renault dealers (part number 7701205496) for £30+VAT. A piston seal kit is also available (part number?) and complete kits that include everything. Bleed nipples are 10mm and common with most Ford calipers (available from most motor factors).		A Brembo slider repair kit is available from Renault dealers (part number 7701205496) for £30+VAT.

	The Do-It-Yourself secret is to ask for Renault parts! If you need a dust boot, look for Auto Specialties part KC-83017 (about $6). For the mounting bolts, slide boots, and other external rubber parts, ask for the Mopar brake attaching kit PN 4423504 (about $70.) The OEM 36mm piston seal is Brembo part number BRE05.5955.56 (around $11.) For internal parts, purchase a remanufactured Dodge Monaco caliper for around $100 and transfer the parts needed over to your Viper caliper. Make sure you get the side you want – the left and right calipers are mirror images inside and out!		The Do-It-Yourself secret is to ask for Renault parts!

	So what can you do if your calipers need a little TLC? Don’t look for help from the service manual, there are no instructions! Your friendly Dodge parts manager can’t help either, since individual parts are not available. Your only option through Dodge is to purchase the complete caliper, which carries a list price of around $450.		So what can you do if your calipers need a little TLC?

	If you drive with the spirit that the Viper was intended, you may have noticed how often one or both of the front tires lock up and slide. Unfortunately, for all the engineering that Brembo put into the rear brakes, the Renault-size brake piston leaves the brake bias excessively towards the front. Testing in a 1994 RT/10 showed that with the front tires doing most of the work, braking performance was limited to a tepid 0.8 G’s before skidding. Not very super performance, is it?

	The oldest Vipers are now approaching their 15th birthday, so it’s time to start preparing for the inevitable round of gathering hard-to-find parts. If you have any caliper questions, need sources for those small missing or broken brake parts, or are considering a rebuild or resize, share your questions and answers on the Viper Club website forums. My display name is Tom, F&L GoR and I’ll be happy to help. And yes I wish they looked nicer, but as ugly ducklings they can still do the job!
