caliper calamity

[jimbonaut]

Len's calipers showed up (cheers again Len) and I think I'm back in business. Gave the piston in one a good soak in PB Blaster for a few days and the thing popped out with some compressed air despite the odds. A little bit of corrosion was left in the pot after removing the rusty piston but mainly above the rubber seal, below it the bore cleaned up pretty good -



And so we soldier on.

Cleaned up, rebuilt with BrakeCrafters rebuild kits and back on the bike. Thanks again to Len for sending me these calipers, I'm very grateful



Please ignore the ignition photobomb. Acknowledging it will only encourage the thing further.

I'm really not sure that I can continue to be friends with someone who keeps their project bike and garage looking like yours. Just the same, thanks for the kind words.

Don't worry Len, friendship will be firmly intact once you see the rest of the garage

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen
