Hi Eric,
Are you still looking for rear cores? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I've been thinking about using your service and I have an extra set of rears that I would like to use to offset the cost.
Thanks,
Bill

PS, I really like that silver!

Hey Bill,

I'm always looking. I've got a bunch of rear cores at this time but...

You can send them along and we can determine a price. The problem I'm running into is the quality of the returns I've been getting. I'd have to say that 80-90% need almost $60.00 in parts (read: new adjusters). I'm looking at possibly changing the pricing structure but it's a tough decision.

Let me know what you've got... I've got a batch going to the platers today. I can request silver (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Good Morning Eric,
I totally understand about the cores, I am really looking for a ballpark figure (best case/worst case). If you have some going to the platers, I would love to be in that batch but I don't think I can get the calipers off and in the mail until Thursday at the latest. As for the extra set I have, I can box them up as well and trust your decision (I have no problem with that). How should we proceed?

Well then, it looks like I have some shipping to do! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

PS, I don't know how big Sandy is but I have a friend that used to have a record store there about 10-15 years ago (he has since relocated to SLC 'Heavy Metal Shop').

I have an odd question for you, I have the stock 914-6 ATE rear brake calipers and would like to upgrade them to the GT version, aka the later 911 style for the thicker vented "rotors."
Can you source the spacer plate, thats bolted between the caliper halves, and do the rebuild at the same time?
Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanx Marv. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

Marv,

You have a rebuild/GT build quote PM'd to you. Let me know if you want to move forward as we'll need to get your spacers.

Eric,
Just got my like new rebuilt front calipers today. These are a thing of beauty. As I have said before, I really appreciate someone with your skill who is willing to work on these old cars. My rear calipers will be the next project. Your the best and thanks again...

So what are we talking about if I want to get them powdercoated red as well? All 4 of mine need one heck of a rebuild. Is it a lot more for the powdercoating? Does the original price give you the choice of either a gold or a silver coating?

Ok.. thats just too funny. Though brake cleaner is some harsh stuff. Anyways, as soon as I get the calipers off the car, I'll be sending them over to you.. its on jackstands anyways, so its not like its going to roll away (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

We'll be in touch.

We do rebuild S-Calipers. Felix posted some pictures of his in this thread. They've changed a bit since then. We carry our exclusive "DuroAno" pistons for those. "Most" S-caliper pistons I've seen have a characteristic rust pattern where the plated piston sits against the seal (picture included).

Prices start at $699.00 and go up from there (Pistons = $100.00 for a set with a restoration).

Here's our Early S-Caliper Page

Here's our Late S-Caliper Page

Here's a link to our pistons

Eric,
We have a problem. I got the set of rear calipers you sent this morning and bolted them up. I stood back and walked around the car. All four wheels are off and it is up on jack stands. I looked at the front calipers you sent a few weeks ago and then walked to the back and looked at the new rears. After repeating this a few times... front... back... I have found that they look so good I am unable to put the wheels back on and cover them up. I am sure that this has been a problem in the past. What do you suggest? I have 2.0 liter Fuchs and they cover the calipers too much. I am stuck. I love these things and I haven't even found out if they will stop the car! Please don't make me put the wheels back on!!!

All tongue-in-cheek aside these are beautiful. You are an asset to the 914 community. Thank you so much.

Rob
