Brake Caliper rebuild advice
I've got a 77 911S Targa and wanted to rebuild the brake calipers - not sure of type / model yet, but wanted advice on powder coating Vs paint. Any technical advice would be most welcome. This is mainly a street / spirited driving Pcar.

Powder coating requires baking which is not always good for rubber parts. I've always used rattle can caliper paint. It may be cheaper, easier, and better all around to have Eric at PMB Performance rebuild them; he plates his back to the original finish that is better for the bore. Getting the bore finish correct is the MOST important part of rebuilding.

Excellent job for a fair price. |
