Bestone914@aol.com Bruce Stone in Riverside, Ca. Sold be two rebuild-able rear calipers. I paid in full for them. I received them and they had rusted and pitted pistons and bores and could not be rebuilt. They were good for core exchange only. I call Bruce Stone and he instructed me to return them at my expense and he would refund the cost only. I returned them , paying the postage. $24.
He will not return my calls or emails. I called and emailed him over twenty times in the last 60 days. He went totally silent. This is bull shit!

Beware of this guy!!!

So here is my side. I sold a pair of rear 911calipers in core rebuildable condition.
More than a year later Ron contacts me ans says his mechanic said that are rusted, seized and "need to be resleeved". Hmmm.
The calipers have not sign of external rust and were the best pair I had.
I asked for pictures to back up the claims. I get a picture of one bore with minor surface rust. I send the pic to @eric_shea and he confirms that the small amount of rust is not problem as I thought.

I told him to return the calipers. When I get them it looks like a large chisel was used on the top of a piston to remove it.
All other pistons are in there bores.

At this point I realize Ron and his mechanic are too unknowledgeable to waste time to deal with.

So I get damaged calipers and am supposed to refund in full plus shipping and what his incompentent mechanic charged to screw up the calipers.
I am cutting my losses and Ron you can take it as a loss too. You have wasted too much of my time.
I consider this thread closed. I will not be replying to this thread.
Thank you to all those who stood up for me.
My suggestion to others is do not sell to this member to avoid problems caused by people who do not know what they are doing.

Bruce
