that multi step process is kind of a PITA, but the finished product looks just amazing

Posted by: gms Feb 11 2013, 07:33 PM

you can still see the rainbow on the calipers!

Posted by: balljoint Feb 11 2013, 07:36 PM

the natural steel finish is bitchin'. someday, no more rusty calipers.

Posted by: MDG Feb 12 2013, 03:10 PM

No sir. The ones pictured in Glenn's initial post are real.

Those ones Erc made for you are formed out of styrene and painted. Remember - they are for show only.

Posted by: bulitt Feb 12 2013, 06:07 PM

Nice Elliot! I see on PMB facebook you are putting the alloy "S" calipers on the front.
You going racing???

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 12 2013, 09:30 PM

Those are aluminum. Hard anodized.

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 12 2013, 10:21 PM

Best yet,what's the weight diference?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Feb 12 2013, 11:07 PM

I'm weighing everything I change on the car. I'll let you know the difference in the caliper weight when I change them. I'll change them all out when I get the front "S" calipers which should be any day.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Feb 12 2013, 11:10 PM

I'll get the "S" calipers any day now and no, I won't be going racing. But lighter IS better yes?

Posted by: Luke M Feb 13 2013, 06:55 AM

I drove a 914-6 with a 3.2 in it and it had S front calipers and 6 rears (solid rotors). It's a nice setup and stops the car very well from triple digit speeds.
That drive was a big factor in the route I'm taking on my brothers 3.0 6 conv. ( I should start a blog on it )..
You will not be disappointed with the braking of that setup.
I'm going with a full f/r Boxster brake setup on my 6 but haven't driven a car with these brakes on it... Sir Andy how do you like your brakes so far ??

Eric is the man when it comes to brakes... I can't wait to try them out.

Looking great Luke.

For the record. All ATE steel caliper were finished in yellow zinc. The process was a rather quick "factory" job and they had a fairly light yellow dichromate layer. After years of various cleaning and sitting in acidic brake dust, the yellow dichromate layer begins to wear and they look more clear. This is why some people think the calipers were silver or clear plated.

100% of the ATE calipers we've disassembled have been yellow zinc (and no, we don't rattle can or copy-cad our calipers)

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Feb 13 2013, 08:13 PM

Got the front "S" calipers today. Time to start bolting stuff together.
