Default Re: rear caliper covers

The ones I sold on eBay were aluminum, powdercoated, with heat resistant vinyl sticker. The ZAF ones are layered bakelite, with engraved lettering. Both use SS hardware to attach to the outer holes of the brake pad (not the caliper.)

When it slowed down (selling price closed to cost to make) I stopped and have recently sent the spare leftovers to people that asked. I have a quote to make a larger batch (i.e. my upfront cost) that is also powdercoated, but the lettering is printed on. (I totally snoozed on the supplier, my apologies for dropping the ball.) That means there would only be one color and one "stencil."

Sorry that I'm late to this note, sorry I'm not a site sponsor and shouldn't be "advertising" but maybe people can speak up about whether they want them or not and I can restart.

Or, if there is a site sponsor interested, PM me and maybe we can make a deal!

A few months back I bought one of Toms last sets. I recently installed them a few weeks ago, which was extremely easy by the way. They really do look great through the openings of my BBS LM wheels. I think Tom should start making these again.

Tom: I just purchased your brake upgrade and didn't think about asking. But when I checked with you about a year ago, the ones you were selling did not match my front calipers that say VIPER. Any chance you have them now?

Thanks

Default Re: rear caliper covers

If there seems to be enough response, the one style I would have is black with double-line font "VIPER" on it.

I had offered colored plates with solid letter VIPER because in vinyl, peeling the strip between the double-lined font was very time consuming. Any new ones will be painted.

Here you go; both rear and front as painted with high heat letters as Tom uses on the rear.

(Yes, Tom I know I have not put the bolts in the holes to 'fill' them in.)

Rear


Front
