brake caliper refurbishing
in the everlasting "re-production" of my 2.4S, it's now time to see what can be done about the brake calipers. The use of hard-chromed or stainless steel pistons is a discussion in itself, but my question is regarding the caliper; Does anybody have experience with "gold-zinc"-ing the M-calipers? (the front S-calipers are o.k.). Should the calipers be split to do this? (so changing the O-rings)?
thanks
Tom

Hi Roland,
what do you mean with "I would never trust them"..; You mean the zinc coat lets loose? Or do you mean the replacement of the O-rings which make the calipers less "trustworthy"?
Calipers/European Chapter?
Hey Robert e.a.,
thanks for the info.
Well, the remark of the "European Chapter" was more like a joke... But, since more and more people are taking this serious, let me think about it. I had a discussion the other day with the (co)founder of the Dutch Classic 911/912 club, on a parts market (we went to Veterama, Europe's largest classic bike and car parts market, with no/hardly any Porsche parts)... Maybe it's better to post a separate topic in the general forum on a European event. Please add your comments there.
Thanks again
Tom
