Am in the middle of buying some Brembo Front brakes for my scoob, however the callipers are stone chipped, has anyone got any info on where can sort this and how much it will be please

 

You'd have t get them powder coated wouldn't you?
Are you looking to just get the stonechips sorted, without having the whole lot done?

 

Strip and paint em yourself.. Im gonna do mine soon. As long as you do it properly, take your time and get a new genuine seal kit you'll be fine

 

Just want them looking new (ish)


there are quite a few chips on them

 

why are you doing yours, stone chips again?

 

Yes there are some chips but i'll be modifying mine too

Mine are going black when theyre done

 

How hard are callipers to do yourself really? I havent the first ideaq where to start.

Might chrome mine

 

First rule of doing calipers yourself is..

NO CHROME !!

1) It looks GAY
2) It will hold the heat in the caliper.. something you DO NOT want. Brembos suffer from heat retention anyway.

Above both of those..


IT LOOKS GAY"!!

 

 

chrome was toungue in cheek mate, will be going back to the gold (probably )

 

Just incase you was serious.. it wouldnt supprise me

Just make sure you clean them and key them properly and use the correct paint

 

As Frayz say reconditioning callipers are easy, make sure you have the right seal kit and take your time, also make sure you are working in a clean environment as you don't want dust particles to get in the bores and damaging the "pots" and seals, etc

 

I may just pay someone to do it.

Fancy it

 

Dont be a lazy ****.. do it yourself and have some pride knowing that you did it all on your own.

If i can cut a bloody hole in my roof, im beting you can do some bloody calipers

 

Your life,and others does not depend on a hole in a roof

 

Depends if i roll it dont it

 

Whys that in case you fall out if it

 

Not much chance of that im way too fat.

But you get the idea... its only a caliper. Just do it properly and you'll have nothing to worry about.

 

I might have a go, as there will be no rush, just dont fancy fooking £500 worth of brakes up.

I have a habit of breaking things didnt you know
