Default Calipers done

Calipers refurbed and fitted, brakes bled, but needed beer before any more...
Road test next and set up V3 height.....
I finised calipers with black inside and red outside..........never again, someone else can do it next time....red paint was a pain in the a*se

Seals were replaced and rear plates removed for refurb, fronts were removed 2000 miles ago by prev owner but seals were all bad. All nipples refurbed etc.

Plenty of grinding and sanding involved, Demon' you made a good decision mate.

I tought I would be different with decal...............

Dude....I fu*ked up a sticker.....get one next week

Total pain, taken hours, then you wreck them when you squeeze pistons back in , fit them, hit them with the wheel, bleed fluid onto them etc etc etc.

Actually they look better in real life, pic a bit blury.

Good job

Why Brembo instead of Porsche decals?

Both calipers were different age and a bit battered, I removed front casting, thought as they were Brembo I would decal them as that...looks good on car...
