MDG on the bench tomorrow.

Great example of a very early S-Caliper casting. You can tell by the notches on the top above the pin journals. The pins clips are to rest in there. Shortly thereafter they did away with the notches.

69ers I'd say. Great for a killer 914-6 project. These are the same calipers the factory put on #11.

Eric - your work is becoming predictably immaculate. This is getting kinda boring; you should screw something up every now and then to keep some drama involved.


Scotty - what type of primer should I use before I paint them red?

Mike I got those Porsche decals you wanted, they will look dope on those calipers once you paint them red.

We're gonna powder coat them a "lighter" shade of red (you could call it) and decal it here.

Erc, let me know when my Calipers get there, so I can get with you about the other things I need!

T.C.

Sweet. I was gonna put Brembo on them. Even though they aren't Brembos that'd be cool.

I still have those Brembo brake caliper covers you were drooling over.
Just stick them on and call 'er done

Looks good Eric. Very nice.



How long do you think it will take to find the second one?

Back from anodizing... these cores came out well:


Close up of the nose:


DuroAno pistons are not only 1/2 the weight of the stock S-Caliper and stainless steel counterparts but, they'll never cause dissimilar metal issues ever again. Even stainless can cause the white corrosion... not DuroAno's.


Let the assembly begin...


New lines will determine which way the pistons go in. We always flip S-Calipers from their original orientation (they are omni directional calipers). In their original form they begin to score the top of the piston bore. When we flip them the slight scoring ends up on the bottom. The lines determine the caliper.


This line makes this one the passenger’s side caliper and... away we go.





Everything loosely put together:




New beehive bleeder caps... details, details, details.


Time to torque up the fluid inlet covers. I like to use 15lbft. for these. the fasteners are 12.9 so I go to the max. torque setting.


Some glam shots with a VW nod for the teeners.




Details...


Details...


Details...

Yowza what a job!

You, sir, don't completely suck at this.

Magnificent craftsmanship.




Now . . these go on the rears, yes?

And what does the '3' mean? The second last pic has the number 3?

And do you bite your nails? Nasty habit.

Sweet ! They're going to look awesome sitting on the shelf next to all my other parts

Some are 1st Quality, Some are 2nd...

Ah.



I see.

Beats me.. never have been able to figger out their codes. None really make sense.

That's not a three. Look at it sideways. That mark was made by Dieter. He always stamps boobs on his werk.

boobs or . . . maybe he started scratching a drawing of his junk on it and got called away?

Oh.

We can finish it for ya...

I will pay extra for that to be done to Michael's clappers.

How much extra?

$12.50

$20.00 :trackfees:

Done.

meh.

That's where the Brembo sticker is goin' anyhoo . . .

Just got them.

These are amazing. The level of work here is truly astounding. Seriously. It's hard to believe these are 40+ years old.

Yeah, yeah... Whatever.

That's just the PMB stamp of approval. They all get a final inspection before being packaged up for shipment.


Lovely work Erc

I can't believe he actually did it!



PayPal coming your way Eric.
