Crappy old brake calipers 280SL
« on: June 19, 2025, 16:24:31 »
Peculiar request, it’s time to redo my brake calipers. I don’t want the car up on blocks for the weeks it’s going to take. So I’d like to get a set of four crappy old brake calipers in any condition to use as cores for rebuilding.. condition is probably not too relevant.

Anybody have them laying around?

I can even return a set or somehow work out something with you if you want to get a set rebuilt as well

My good friend Eddie Black came through!
Some old ATE calipers were sent to me as "cores" and these have just been shipped out to a rebuilder.
When they return, they'll go on my car, and my "cores" will go out for a rebuild, and go into Eddie's car when he chooses.
