Here's one of my distractions that's been taking up time that I should be using to finish my engine build. I picked up a set of front struts and brakes from a 1972 911T for a 5-lug conversion. Here's my progress up to this point..
Struts: Bead blasted, just primed one tonight... Will be painted satin black. Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice job.
Who did your plating? I'm planning on having some stuff plated when I can afford it. |

QUOTE(Todd Enlund @ Feb 5 2009, 09:58 AM)  Nice job. Who did your plating? I'm planning on having some stuff plated when I can afford it. I checked around the Portland area for platers and couldn't find anyone that handled small hobby jobs. I'm sure there's someone out there, but it was far easier to send them to Eric Shea. He added them to a batch he was sending to his plater. It was a great deal. I sent dirty disassembled calipers and hardware to Eric via USPS and a couple weeks later, I received the beautifully plated caliper parts and black oxide coated hardware at my door, ready for assembly. Thanks Eric! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Thanks Eric! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) When I started plating stuff on my 928 project the Seattle area guys tried to find somewhere to do their stuff also but had no luck. Out here the owners of such shops (platers, powder coaters etc ..) tend to be hot rod guys and like to help out the hobbiest. Providing I give them clean parts I have rarely been over the min order charge which was $50. It has been a couple of years but I am getting to the point where I have 914 parts ready to go. Bryan, is it OK to disassemble the caliper and then plate? I know on Eric's article he loosely bolts the halves together before plating. |

Hopefully your snow will be melted in Spokane by August so you'll be able to get some driving time in this summer... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm going to defer your question to Eric. Calling Eric Shea, are you out there Eric? |
