Powder Coated Goodness

[gsodonis]

These pics are representative of 16 year old SVX calipers (or any old, uncoated, unplated caliper for that matter):


Here are the naughty bits of 16 year old SVX brakes - and unless you have rebuilt yours within recent memory, there's a good chance that yours look like this too. And people wonder why calipers 'stick'.


A closeup - these are exactly what they looked like right after I popped them out of their bores:


And heres what they look like after some TLC, Purple Power and scotchbrite pads (used sparingly as needed):


And finally, powder coated goodness - with the sand cast marks removed on most surfaces visible through the wheel. These were assembled with all new OEM Subaru rebuild kits and all the proper Permatex copper antiseize and synth brake caliper pin lube - I believe that these are going on Bobby's supercharged baby (unless he doesn't want them anymore, in which case you'll see them soon on the For Sale forum):










And as a reminder, this is what they look like in red - the set I first did some 3 years ago on the car currently owned by Eric S.


Bobby, are ya comin down to get 'em?
