FS: Black Powder Coated, Rebuilt SVX Calipers
 
I have another set of newly rebuilt calipers for sale. The process I follow for my caliper rebuilds:

- Disassembly and inspection of all parts
- Ultrasonic hot tank soak to remove grease and grime
- Sandblast calipers to bare metal (I outsource this to a sandblast company that uses new sand to prevent contamination of the surface and ensure proper bonding of powder coat). Reusing sand can embed grease and dirt into the surface which can cause improper powder coat adhesion akin to orangepeel
- Powder coat (I use a powder coating company - I don't do this myself). Current colors choices are limited to red (Chevy Corvette Victory Red), black, yellow, blue (Richard Petty blue - I hope no one ever picks this color) and silver which costs more because it is a 2-step process. These calipers are gloss black.
- After the powder coater, a tap is through every threaded hole to clean out any powder coat and sandblasting residue and to ensure that all fasteners will go together easily. All pivot pin bores are cleaned to ensure proper slider operation
- Soapy water wash and run nylon brushes through all threaded holes and especially the caliper bores to ensure that there are no sand blast residues or metal shavings present
- The piston usually have some corrosion on the ID, so I clean them up as best as I can and paint the inside of the pistons with a Krylon rust inhibiting paint
- Reassembly using nothing but OEM Subaru rebuild kits and the supplied Subaru assembly grease
- Install new gold anodized bleed screws with dust caps
- Synthetic caliper pin grease on all caliper pins

SOLD

I bought a set from gsodonis, installed them, and I continue to be very pleased with them. Great job on the rebuild and the powder coating!! And mine are also BLACK - just beautiful on my RED '97!

Any interest in any type of trade for anything or partial trade? Just curious:)

I'm always interested in a good trade, but it can't be SVX parts related as I no longer own one. Firearms, Electronics, Gold Krugerrands- Let me know what you've got to trade.

Say it is not so - you got rid of the '92?!

Sad to say it is so - but I couldn't have sold it to a better owner. Eric (Somethingelse - look at the second post at the top of the thread) purchased it and did what I wish I had the time and skill to do and that was fix the bodywork. He painted gold - a first for an SVX I believe. I'm confident that my SVX will live on a long time under his ownership and care and not go the way of cash for clunkers in the way that some of our sister cars have sadly met their fate. Give me enough time (and money) and I'll buy another some day.

Fair enough... I'll see if there's anything I have around you'd be interested in:)

The calipers are no longer available - they're on their way to Houston to their new owner.
