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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) do we get paid upfront and the buyer pays shipping? oh...can we charge shipping AND handling and impose a re-stocking fee?

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

Front and/or rears?

Single and/or dual bleeders?

$100 per pair or $100 per each?

I have enough spare cores (front, rear, 911, etc.) that I would gladly trade for fiberglass bumpers.
How do we arrange that?

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.
