Special Brake Caliper Pistons

[John]

Pistons are ready!

The machine shop just called and said the pistons are ready. Apparently, there was a lull in production on one of the machines, so the owner had the machinist turn the pistons, instead of sitting around with his thumbs up his butt.
I will need to ask those of you who requested some, to start sending in the money as soon as I get the shipping costs. The cost should be $48 a set, and I will get the shipping costs tomorrow. There are three sets unspoken for...anybody want one last chance at a set for approximately $48 before they go on ebay?

Parts in hand.

I just got home from the machine shop, pistons in hand. They did a great job! I had the opportunity to spend some time chatting with the owner, and he is one hell of a guy! It seems he used to live in my neighborhood when I first bought my house. He moved shortly after that. After a lengthy talk, he offered to show me the operation, and I jumped on it! WOW! There are three large buildings, and one of them is dedicated to making parts just for Bell Helicopter, and primarily for the V-22 Osprey. He said that in the Bell shop alone he has more than 4 million dollars invested in machinery, and it is all top of the line stuff. There are over fifty machinists working for him. He did a test fit in one of my spare calipers, as compared with the original piston, and he was quite satisfied with the fit. Who am I to question him?
Anyway I will be shipping them in the next day or so. I still have three sets available. Anyone interested? The price is $24 a piece, $48 a set, plus shipping. If I list them on ebay, the price will be higher. Gaffer77, and Trukleon...thanks so much for your business, I believe you will be very satisfied with them.
