[Brakes] Driving with just 1 new front brake caliper
#1
I just changed to new brake discs and pads on both sides and a new caliper on left side (as it was seized real good).
I took the front right caliper out and cleaned it and greased it properly - it was working fine before I took it off and a little better after I cleaned and greased it.

I want to change the caliper on the right side with a new one, but I cannot get the part until next week and I need to go to Sweden this weekend.

So my question is:

Would it be safe for me to drive 1000 kilometers in Norway and Sweden this weekend, with just one new front caliper and the other old one working?
I'm thinking about difference in reaction time for example?

Just from a 'being able to drive around without a braking issue on my mind' point of view, I'd be inclined to find an alternative means of transport.

If it goes, you'll be klicking yourself.

I can't see it being any issue at all. If in doubt - Do a test drive, make sure it doesn't pull left or right either driving (to indicate it binding), or when braking. Hold the pedal down for a while and make sure it's not leaking. Do a longer drive and make sure it's not getting hot.
