  7. Loveless,

    Great thread with some nice engineering and pics.

    Just one thing and it could be a case of "grandmother and sucking eggs" but on page 3 #57 the conical washer should face the other way with cone facing bearing and flat side to swing arm. You may have just dropped it in there because it sits better, just don't forget to turn it round.

    Cheers Gaz

  8. Wow that came up clean.

    I hate the words "Winter Project" but I have a set of Brembos that really could use this kind of attention.
    Thanks for the info/idea.

  12. stunning mate,, but will the bare alloy not oxadise quickly,, maybe a coat of clear lacquer or resin..

  13. Will the oxidisation tone down the shininess the way loveless wants it to, or will the caliper end up looking crappy?

  14. Dislike? Obviously Loveless doesnt like all the hard work! Lol

  16. Annodising for alloy , tuftriding for steel should give a suitablly enduring finish
