Can these calipers be rescued

[threepot]

Can't remember the year but from memory Honda VN750 shadow, pads fit my early Girly which is the same caliper as one on the Steamer.

Yes here's a link to an e bay listing:

Oh Yus!

So the early Girly calipers are different, since all three on my bike take that shadow pad.

Looks like it, it's not like Triumph to use something unique on a mainstream model though.

theres a few variations of bodies and pads across the ranges (from the 90's through to current models!) but the seals and pistons are common..  these are still showing as available on the world of triumph site at £28 each... listed  as carb sprint r/h front but i'm pretty sure its the same as at least one steamer position, maybe have to swap the slider/mount bracket over... worse case its a set of seals, pistons, pins and rubbers for £28 :)

theres also a thread on the Girly section regarding what  other seals etc fit...  going back to the original post, i'd lob those and find some better ones to re-seal.. 

[Sin_Tiger]

  not even much use as maritime vessel immobilisers, not heavy enough.

Plan is to order the (carb sprint r/h front caliper) on the recommendation of NeilD, fingers crossed that has the front RH sorted. Plan for the LH front is to pick up a slightly used explorer rear as it looks the same. What ya think ? 

[NeilD]

as i said, not actually tried one of those calipers on a steamer, however worse case is a cheap set of parts to rebuild another caliper :)

In for a penny in for a pound !!! I've taken the plunge and ordered the caliper today, it appears from speaking to the parts chap at my local dealer people are buying the calipers for the sole reason of using the pistons and seals as its so cheap.

[Sin_Tiger]

Should be ok with the Dora rear on the LHF. Odd, a set of stainless pistons with seals and red grease is only £45

The advice paid off Lads  new calipers turned up in the the post today and what a result  For the front right and rear I ordered 2 carb Sprint calipers P/N 2020700-T0301 at the bargain price of £28 each which by surprise also came fitted with pads. All I did was change the slider/mount brackets. For the front left I picked up a second hand 2012 Tiger Explorer rear caliper which is a direct fit, no need to even change the slider/mount bracket as it's identical. Even treated the old girl to a new set of brake lines.
Picture shows the calipers with changed slider/mount brackets ready to fit to the steamer. Thanks for all the input chaps

That's what's known of as a 'result'!!
