It usually takes about 1-1.5 weeks for the calipers. We had a harder time sourcing the lines and getting the right pads. Now, we can get that...
Thanks Michael! Let us know when 12557 is ready ;) Love the progress.
Girling is zinc as well. We restore calipers for T.Rutlands, Pelican Parts and Stoddard. We've restored tens of thousands of ATE and Girling. Both...
Ate always used zinc not cad. Yellow zinc is the proper finish.
One would hope... :D
I like it when it all goes as planned! Happy to help.
Just a quick FYI guys. I do not recommend honing the bores on your caliper rebuilds. This will leave a fresh, open, steel on steel surface....
Edwardo. I have plenty of those. Let me know what you're looking for. Be careful as there are pitfalls to S-Calipers, mainly the pistons but,...
I stock them or you can try Bel-Metric. They are 10x1 5mm hex.
Unless you have a Dino, none of the Porsche calipers work. While the 914-6 versions are in the identical casting, the bleeders are on the...
Now comes the fun part... putting the caliper 1/2's together. I like to insert the outer fastener and use it as an assembly post. Put the...
Time to pull in the outer pistons. Use the ATE assembly lube on this bore as well. A little dab and paint it around the bore. Again, using...
On to the outer adjusters. The first thing I do with these is run a dye over them and chase the threads. The 13mm lock nut always seems to get...
Now we're ready to pull in our first piston. Before we do that, I like to lube the bore with ATE assembly lube. In the first picture you can see...
Next you'll want to drop the spring over the shaft... Then the hat... And finally, the c-clip. Once everything is in place, drop a 12mm...
Starting with the inner adjuster mechanism, everything gets cleaned up and the seals slide down the adjuster shaft. Slide the seal into the...
We use new 5mm versions that are not only deeper but (obviously) 5mm. Ironically, those 10mm hex plugs don't fit all that well on 914's as...
We'll finish up today with getting the bore seals in place and the dust boots on the pistons. The bore seals simply need to be walked around in...
Next we attend to the other side of the arm and attach the spring assembly. The first thing to do is clean up the shaft bushing and drop it in...
The first order of business is to get the arms back in the caliper housing. A new wiper seal is put over the shaft and the shaft is slathered...
