I hadn't intended on sending my calipers out to get done. Wasn't really in the budget
and I have rebuilt enough 911 calipers, I figured I'd just do them myself. After looking closely at them and removing the bleeder screws I realized that sitting in a box since 1988 or so, time hadn't been good to them. I packed them up in a Flat Rate Box and sent all 4 off to Utah.. I even insured the package for 1000.00. Supposedly 3 day priority mail. Tracking showed I dropped them off locally on Oct. 17th and that night they went to a sorting station.... Then NOTHING..... No sign of them for well over a week. I called the Post Office and opened inquires, but nothing... They finally arrived Oct 26th Tracking went from "in transit" to delivered, just like that. I was just happy they weren't lost. Coming back.. 2 boxes, sent the same time..left the 25th of Nov.. I realize there was a Holiday in there... But the box with the rears arrived yesterday.. Dec 1st. The other box with the fronts still shows "In Transit" and delivery date still shows Sat. Nov. 28th. I'm glad the rears made it first.... The fronts can be replaced a lot easier, if they did get lost... Here is a quick "before and after" picture of 1 rear before and both rears now. Amazing....... Was so worth sending them......  |
