These started out as a pair of rear calipers from a 76' Lancia Scorpion.
Quite icky directly from the Lancia. They were washed in an industrial hot water & soap washer then abrasive particle blast cleaned. This is what the brackets look like after being primed with Tempo zinc phosphate primer (the aircraft stuff out of a rattle can). The M10x1.25 x 20mm long socket head cap screws were painted at the same time and they masked off the threaded holes.
Same applied to the brake calipers:
Calipers were rebuilt with new seals, boots and all. Krytox was used as assembly lube for the pistons. Swepco 101 was used on the outer parking brake wedge lever. There are the finished brackets and calipers installed with new EBC rotors (painted black as delivered).
EBC green pads installed:
The Facom brake piston expander tool, works good:
New calipers, EBC rotors and Green pads done:
Top view:
Air purge from the brake calipers then took the exxe out to bed the new pads. Brakes have better front to rear balance so far. I'll know more once the new pads have settled with more driving. If needed, the front limiter valve can be adjusted to tweak in the from to rear brake bias.
