Has anybody got the definitive dimensions for the front brake pistons primarily the diameter .
The tolerances on this dimension are also of interest
Thanks in advance for any info or sources

What car/calipers? Elan v +2 had different brake setups on the front.
'73 +2 130/5 RHD, now on the road and very slowly rolling though a "restoration"

front caliper are I believe Girling 14LF

48.1 mm
OR 1 and 7/8 inches = 47.625 mm
real values and tolerances would be appreciated

I measured 6 original pistons in good condition with no significant wear with a calibrated quality micrometre with zero error at 50.00 mm
Measurements were 48.10 mm +/- 0.02mm

As the originals are hard chrome plated I doubt the precise diameter is closely controlled. Surface finish more likely.
