all that glitters is gold..

So I sent the brakes from the parts car out a month ago and they came back today.   They turned out pretty good.  I did find out in the process that pins and springs that hold the brake calipers are now NLA.  (How the heck can something like that be NLA?!)

Anyways, they were completely disassembled, the calipers and fasteners replated with the correct yellow zinc plating (just like the originals had when new), pistons polished and piston tops cleaned and repainted, new seals and dust covers, properly reassembled by brake specialists. Restored is probably the better word. These were done so that they are better than the day they left the factory (and done correctly so that they have the same finish and look as the day they left the factory!) No excuses, no compromises.  Excellent for driving and excellent for concourse.

I have decided to go another direction though, and am going to look at a more hot rod brake set up for Fritz.  So these guys are going to be up for sale on the 912bbs.   If anyone is interested shoot me any email at hoffman912@gmail.com
