Cant Stand The E-Brake Caliper, So I Fixed It

[50 Deep]

I was experiencing feelings of strong hate toward the natural finish on the electronic parking brake. Decided to do something about it. Added a few small touches prepping the car for the next set of wheels. Threw on some JLT rock blockers as well. These little things are unsung heroes....

Powdercoated or painted?

Ummm...those Ti lugnuts.. any estimate on shipping, T?

DAMN that's a pretty car and those wheels, Lord have mercy they're gorgeous.

I too had the same question as Tob but, he beat me tuit. :-) (Looks powdercoated to me.)

BTW, those are Ford not Brembo, correct?

looks great! This makes it even harder to wait for my wheels!

I was waiting for the trunk to fly open to show all the toilet paper you scored.

The electric parking brake calipers are sourced from Brembo.

Thanks, Tob. I was thinking about a "Brembo" decal for the E-Brake. :-)

This one is actually a high temp brake caliper wrap. So far, I like it.

Spot caliper I am not sure who manufactured, but undoubtedly T will know. The titanium baddies should be here at the end of May, so soon. I actually had to request another batch be produced since these sold out so fast.

Where is that damn DeLorean?

Brembo's logo...

 

[kilobravo]

Thanks for that, Tob. I never realized there was a logo associated, (even though I've seen that one and never paid it any mind.) DUH!

Hmm...a wrap, I wouldn't have thought of that. Didn't know there was a high-temp version, either. Sure looks good though and thanks for the info on the lugs.

How hard was the wrap to do? Would it be hard to just pull them of for powder coating?

 

[Epiphany]

They are as easy to remove as can be.

Has anyone disassembled the parking brake and had it powdercoated? Anyone know a powdercoat color that matches? And whats with the 5 point fasteners! who the heck has those....I thought about just taking those 2 outside bolts off and powercoating the outside half, but since its a weird bolt cant even test my theory.

 

[protraxduner]

Should have these back tomorrow nice and powdercoated red......Would have never thought i would use this janky socket thing, but it worked quite well.

Inspired by T, I picked up these ready made wraps from Bemaro along with my bumper letters / numbers.

Had them put in with the PPF and ceramic.
