Rear handbrake calipers stripped, painted and refurbished with new pistons and rubber seals.
New disc are also ready
Certainly a little bit bigger than the original ones.
Now just wait for the rear axle to come back from powdered coating and in can all be fitted

Nice one mate. That’s going to look epic when it’s all on the van.

I’m hoping so buddy.
The one good thing is it will all be new or refurbished on the rear axle.

Yeah it’ll be one less thing to think about.
I’m gonna have to repaint my callipers this year. I’m going to send them away to be powder coated though. Means having the van off the road which is a bit of a pain.

I did think about having mine powder coated until they told me the price. Mind you I’m glad I did it myself as I have learned how to do something else.

It’ll look amazing when fitted mate. As far as I know, you’re only the 2nd person to do it.

That’s decent set of brakes there mate
And there is nothing wrong with wet painted callipers, many well known brands comes new wet painted instead of powder coating, todays paints handle heat much better and you can get nice effects going wet
