4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

[blueinkd]

So nobody still slap these things on!?! Mine still sitting in boxes but I'm getting tempted to find pads and install them?? I'm not sure if I want to paint the calipers gloss back or red. Kind of don't want them standing out in red but kind of do:/.

I'm waiting for wheels.....there's like some national wheel shortage going on....COVID-19, Chinese Mfg delays, and container ships parked or something.

So in the meantime, I gave the calipers to a local machinist who is going to shave and smooth them. Then I'll decide whether to paint or powder them.

If my wheels land this week then I'll install this weekend.

I want them in too, as my brakes SUCK!

my brakes SUCK!

YES !!!

Maybe this?

Or this?

If I sticker it that may create another delay......
I think I'm just going to paint it, as opposed to powder.

You have black TrailBoss Wheels, Yes?
Red would be a nice contrast behind those black wheels.

Progress on the calipers so far.
Machinist says the metal is very hard......some sort of alloy/mix of iron and steel.

I have everything for the install, I just need the wheels! Geez

Well here is my progress.

Cut off wheel on the angle grinder......takes about 2 mins to delete the hump.....on this hump day. Then clean up with my Milwaukee M12 die grinder with a 40 grit flapper wheel.

Hope to get these out to powder coating this week

I might do the poser thing and slap some Brembo decals on. As my one buddy said.....no one will know the difference
