Presumably in a factory with a good quality control system where tolerances are checked on every unit.

It's the back shed thing that would scare most people when it comes to brake parts. Perhaps he has a better setup than what most people ...

I got a set of calipers overhauled a month back, $470 odd, which hurt, half that amount was the parts. I did the rotors myself to save cash. That's a HJ 47 'cruiser BTW.
there is a bloke up here who will rebuild your calipers with stainless pistons for $250/300 a pair, depending on model(mostly ...

ive been running gasless wire on a lincon 170 welder (onsite)for years, and it works fine. but it does weld differently to gas welding and takes a bit to get used too. i find it better to weld gal too. im currently replacing the hand rails at work using the gassless, much easier than my 250 amp WIA ...
