powder coating

[haveugot1 0]

Got mu brake calipers back on fri, he had done a good job but. A fookin big but, he had grit blasted them and hadnt cleaned or blew the shit before powder coating them. I cleaned the seals out ok. Then had to tap the threads. Now ive fooked one of the threads so will have to helicoil it. Taking them back so he can acid dip and do them again. And I ain't paying for them either. Fookin mad isn't the word.

was told he was really good and he told me he tapes it all off and blocks the holes. See what he has to say for himself tomorrow.

Not good when I had my wheels done the bloke put bolts in all the holes etc to stop this. Go elsewhere like dave said

Went to see Mark today and upset is a MASSIVE understatement none of the threaded calliper holes had been covered and were full of grit even the piston bores were full of powder coating   which is a shame cos the powder coating looked good if only they had been prepared properly. Don't do owt stupid tomorrow Mark remember he has to put it right and he can't do that from A&E

I need to get one of the holes helicoiled. It taped out then the bolt just siezed in. So didnt even attempt to clean the other holes. Hes an idiot.

Im still fuming mike.

the bolt sizes are the same but suzuki changed the pitch of the thread on their calipers mark mk 1 and mk 2 bandits have different pitch sizes on the banjo bolts so the busa may be the same as a mk 2 bandit

[haveugot1 0]

These r m8 x 1.25 pitch. Its not the bolts that are the problem stan. Its thr fact he didnt block the holes off.

holes can be welded back up and re drilled and re tapped mate im your man

Understandable mate, I'd probably be the same. Just note Mikes point above

Well he has offered to put them right for nothing and I took the bolts down to make sure he blocks the holes off.

I agree Garry but this person came recommended to Mark from multiple people which is normally the best way     but not to block threaded holes or protect the piston bores is in my opinion just plain stupid!   pleased its getting sorted though Mark,

not only one mark dad needed his turbo changed, so we was reccomended this bloke who used my boss's ramps

its come back smoking, out the exhaust and under the bonnet, running crap and wheel wobble.

bloke said wheel wobble is tracking

the bits hes broke said already were and itll be fine once new egr valve pipe and clip are here. hope he sorts it! im down to using the bike this week, as dad needs my car
