914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Big thank you to Eric Shea
Posted by: Wardsweb Mar 1 2009, 08:48 PM
Just wanted to acknowledge Eric's expertise and willingness to help us DIYers. His thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=24229&st=0 was my rebuild 101 text book while tackling my own rebuild.
I'm cleaning everything while I wait on the rebuild kits to arrive. I also have started a picture gallery of the entire process. I've the got most of the tear down done and will add the clean and rebuild as they occur. While not the concours level that Eric does, they will be clean and functional for us guys on a budget.

Very cool Wardsweb! Now to celebrate, go down to Riverwalk and have some chips with fresh Guacamole made at your table. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Happy stopping!

I need to do my rear calipers.
Where did you order the kits from?

If Eric is out, I got mine from Pelican Parts. Auto Atlanta would be another place to try.
My rebuild kits and new pads arrived yesterday, so I should complete the front and rear rebuilds this weekend. Now the rears are original but the fronts had seized pistons, so I'm rebuilding a pair of BMW 320i calipers to use.

Kinda gay....not like there is anything wrong with that...just wanted to point it out....he does do a gud job....BUT......I kinda have to jab him every once in a while....
Your admins are here to help.......just make sure you keep them humble, they get uppity.
He's made me a good deal in many cases....

Except for the pink shirts and the lifesavers, Eric is a good guy! He has helped me out quite a bit!
(as a matter of fact, the 75 will be sporting a new set of front and rear PMB rebuilt calipers on the upcoming Route 66 Ramble! )

Well I got around to putting them back together. Now to get the rotors turned.
