Hypothetical question about sticking brakes Options

[McLovin]

I have a quick question for the group. Are there any qualms or reservations against using "unloaded" brake calipers like these and transferring the bits and pieces of your OEM calipers to these calipers? This all assumes you have good pads, of course.

So are these unloaded brake calipers a bad idea? They seem like a much less tedious alternative to a rebuild kit without too much more money.

Buyer beware on the A1's

Comes in a variety of finishes? Yup they have been chemically washed and then given an oil bath. They look like sintered iron. A1's are not re-plated. If they are its whats left of the original that has seen its finer days.

Color/Finish: Natural. Yup that too and in 2-3 car washes they will change to another slightly orange natural color.

SAE specific? That's a good one!

For that price if your skills allow you could disassemble your own, clean them, polish the pistons, very light two turn hone the bores yourself, order the seals, brake grease and speed bleeders from PMB and reassemble them. May not be pretty but you would be ok for a while

Option 2: Send yours to Eric at PMB and be done with it. Good for another 20 years.
