El Dude, as seen over on PP your refurb are a work of art to be honest.

Do you paint them on the day aswell, back to blue with the lettering and service them or is that extra?

I'm from Scotland, is it a case of drive down and do it while i'm there?

Thanks.

I keep a spare set or two, ready done...so that ready painted shells can be swapped on the day..... this is provided that the shells on offer are of similar condition i havn't had to refuse the swap service to many owners...but it has happened a couple of times... all the info is on the thread i think...

the shotblasting, painting and rebuilding is done over the course of a few days usually... so impossible to offer that on a day visit....

oh, and thanks for recognising the hours of work...

So pretty much a caliper swap over?

Would you put new pads in at an extra cost?

don't charge any extra for fittings new pads or discs...pretty much part of the service to be honest....

if you've gone to the trouble of removing the seals and pistons for a proper clean, it laways makes sense to keep them as far in the caliper as possible...ie fit new pads...

So would I have to pay for the pads that you have in your stock?

I think I remeber you saying you kept stock?

Thanks again for replying.

well yes... pads don't grow on trees you know..

thought you were referring to labour costs...

Haha you mean you don't have a brake pad tree in your garden!

How much are the pads you fit? I know you mentioned that they are the right ones made to fit unlike some others on sale.
