I've sold reproduction S calipers that look like the real thing.
Nobody here purchased any. I think the price went down a bit.
If someone wants to buy a set, I'll check.

I don't necessarily care if they look like the real thing. I'm just curious if the ebay ones are decent quality at that price point. BTW, I have real S calipers, so not necessarily in the market.

We've used a couple sets on 911 builds and they work perfectly. I have no idea about the ebay product.

Do you know where the ones you sold were made? Stateside or otherwise?

Looks like most of the sellers other stuff is made in Taiwan.


I sent a question to the ebay seller. According to him, these calipers are also made in Taiwan.
