Last week, he offered to flog me a rear Brembo brake caliper he had knocking around in his workshop, to replace the buggered and monstered Grimeca unit on my Skorpion.
He said all the usual stuff - it was "used", "reconditioned", he needed to "do some work to it", insert some helicoils 'n stuff. I've been here many times before on Ebay - but, given that it was going to cost me mucho beer tokens to solve the problem otherwise (£90 from a Brembo Dealer
) I paypalled Mister J the princely sum of €52 and waited with my fingers crossed for something I hoped would work reasonably well.Well, imagine my disgust when THIS appeared, postman attached, at the door of my lowly hovel just 3 days later - and all the way from Germany too!

What's this ... new pins? New Banjo? New through bolts?? Where's all the rust I paid for? Where's the nicely rounded-off hexagons and the artistic scuff markings ........??? 
Nahhh! That's not "used, "reconditioned", "had some some work done to it". That's a new caliper (or very near offer) innit? Disgusting I calls it. I'm going to have to clean the bike to match now!!!!!
Seriously, thanks Bill! Top piece of kit, and at a stunning price too.
Tell me, how many times are you prepared to get members on here out of the sticky stuff, before you demand their first-born or something similar as repayment?
