Rebuilding new brake calipers

"Conedodger" posted a thread about restored brake calipers for our 240's---

Core business is Porche and Ferrari brakes---but they love the Z'z too!

Not cheap, but they are fantastically well done. Porterfield pads and shoes. New caliper pistons. Look like new and perform as well.

Very happy with the set I received from them--highly recommended---your brakes aren't a good place to save money!

I've found that even some "new" parts, like clutch slave cylinders, have honing grit inside.  Every operation in a shop costs money, and some of these overseas shops probably pay by the piece.

 I wouldn't think anything less of Rock Auto or any other parts provider, this is unfortunately an industry accepted standard.  Chris I agree with you 100% on tearing down any rebuilt hydraulic parts.

 

That about says it all.

Those are "breaks" not "brakes".

I made a reminder note to make sure I stay behind grannyknot at the 2016 ZCON.

I should have taken a pic of the finished bore, it was pristine.

Just don't slam into me from behind!
