Rebuilding brake calipers
1980 911SC..
My 25 year old ride is showing it's age.. rear drivers side caliper is dragging... making lots of dust... not good..
I'm contemplating rebuilding the caliper vice buying a rebuilt [$100/Vertex] or new [$280/Pelican]... cost of a rebuild kit is about $20.
I don't track the car , don't do anyhting wild > so brakes get a decent life [in terms of Porsche brakes]..
Sure I'd like to get a set of big-reds.. but my kids would like to go to college too... [prioities all messed up I now]..
I've read/downloaded the Pelican article on rebuilding .. doesn't seem like rocket science....
Thoughts .. lessons learned... ?? personal experience?
thanks
