Just read where he is offering $100 for complete brake caliper cores. Perhaps "complete" is the operative word here. Con cuidado.

where did you come across this news? $100 per or a set? is "rebuildable core" contained in the fine print? 
do we get paid upfront and the buyer pays shipping? oh...can we charge shipping AND handling and impose a re-stocking fee?

I'd rather give mine to Eric for free
Or is it 100.00 per caliper ?

Maybe Eric partnered with him.
Yeah. That's prolly it.

We sell lots of rebuilt calipers, and we don't get nearly as many cores back.

Ok, I'll bite ....
Front and/or rears?
Single and/or dual bleeders?
$100 per pair or $100 per each?
Waiting breathlessly for answers!

Posted by: carr914 Aug 10 2013, 11:43 AM
According to his online catalog, the Core Charge is $100

Ok, I have a set of front and rears cores so how much for them???
Posted by: ripper911 Aug 10 2013, 12:13 PM
I don't know the details... I'll ask.
Posted by: stugray Aug 10 2013, 01:20 PM
I have enough spare cores (front, rear, 911, etc.) that I would gladly trade for fiberglass bumpers.
How do we arrange that?

Check the thread on the AA site:

Its $100 a pair for COMPLETE REAR cores + your shipping cost to them.
Posted by: r_towle Aug 10 2013, 07:46 PM
I did a brake job on my sons previous mid 90's era VW passat.
The rear caliper looked really similar in size, shape etc, and had a mechanical ebrake just like a 914.
I never bothered to look hard at the swap potential cause it was a late night emergency fix for my son.....but I remember thinking that it looked like a bracket needed to be made for mounting, and then you could use center rear rotors...
Might become a solution as the available cores start to become more and more scarce.

Hence the "con cuidado". The Latin version, just for your Doc; "Sit vendit cavete ".
Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 11 2013, 10:04 AM
or its non rebuildable and you have to pay the return or trust the assessment and let them scrap them out. right...

?He just said fuel pumps, I'm sure we need both types.
Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 13 2013, 02:17 PM
Well, I for one am glad to see such improvement in communication from AA 
Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 14 2013, 10:15 AM

If you shove a bunch of them in a flat rate box you could end up with some cash to spare after the shipping charge.
Send us your calipers and fuel pumps! Or send them to me for free and I'll sell them to George...

BINGO! Give the man a cigar.
Posted by: SLITS Aug 15 2013, 11:52 AM
And King George is below rebuilder market value on cores.
Posted by: ripper911 Aug 15 2013, 03:25 PM
If you send in your cores we will send you a check! 
If you would prefer store credit for future purchases that is fine also.
Send in those calipers!

Why not send them to PMB? He has a better reputation
Posted by: MDG Aug 15 2013, 07:58 PM
Huh.
Why is the time in your quote of my post 4 hours earlier than my actual post.
Did you changes time zones?
Do you have a time machine??

My brake caliper cores go to Erc but I do have some fuel pump cores that have been laying around forever.
Posted by: 914werke Oct 16 2013, 07:51 PM
Is this deal (fuel pumps) a going concern or was this a "testing the water's" thing?
