q-tip Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 How did you buy incomplete calipers? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 How did you buy incomplete calipers? Rebuilts are often sold that way. But yes, you kind of screwed yourself :P Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 It's what I had to do and that's the way they came. I have receipts to return all the goods, but would rather be able to use them. I could buy $600-700 Wilwoods, but don't want to shell that kind of dough out, if possible! Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Are Z and ZX mounting holes the same? On the strut I mean? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Return them and buy the complete ones. They are available. 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Return them and buy the complete ones. They are available. Can't find complete ones. called everyone! Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ok...put to rest. Ordered passenger from one site and the driver from another site. Hopefully, they both show up without issues. What a pain in the a$$! 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Complete ones are crazy hard to find, I bought a spare set 3 years ago after I had one fail and it was a bitch to replace. My parts place had to order from two different specialist places just to make a pair. I will look in the garage I may have kept the set that were in my struts when I bought them but I'm pretty sure I turned those in for cores. 1 Quote Link to comment
Noflers Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Can't find complete ones. called everyone! IIRC, Autozone sells both versions. With and without that bracket. I think it's only a $5 difference. Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I tried Autozone, Napa, O'Rielys and finally found one on Amazon and the last one at Rockauto. Holy crap, I didn't think it would be that hard to find em. We'll see tomorrow or next week!! Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Looking good here. 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Finally received the brakes...full brackets on them to boot!! So, I got the hubs all ready to accept the new goodies. These guys were horrible. Oh, new bearings and all. Edited May 14, 2019 by 4perrev 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 taking a sabbatical for a month (work calls), but after....full force on the car!!! Always have too much sh!t to do. 2 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 So....after years of using the f*&king photobucket site, they've decided to charge us to post pictures to forums. Every single picture on this build thread is conveniently hidden unless I give them $40. a month? They can go F**&^%%%%^&**(()))__ themselves. So all, I can try and find another place to host, but uploading all those oics again will be painful!! What to do now??!!! Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 It's being discussed in the photobucket and Ratsun thread in general discussion. Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 F*&king Photobucket is a pain in the a$$ and I f^%king hate them. Can't pull my sh!t out because they suck also. What a joke it is!!! Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 F*&king Photobucket is a pain in the a$$ and I f^%king hate them. Can't pull my sh!t out because they suck also. What a joke it is!!! Download firefox, download DTAoneclick. login to photobucket, set your album as a slide show. Right click and save each picture with dtaoneclick. Still takes some work, but I got all mine saved. All 1300 or so.. Quote Link to comment

4perrev Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Sorry I've been away friends...Had to move houses and find a new job. Life shift to responsibilities. Will get more stuff going on the Dime here soon enough. Good thing is, I finally have a shop in which to build without constraints. More coming. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 At least you weren't forced to sell your dime! 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Wow....It's been a very long time since I came up here. I have finally moved and found the new job. The shop is beginning to come together now and the Dime is up on the rotisserie awaiting some love. I shall begin again soon. Hope you guys have all been well and had a great Christmas. Best wishes for the New Year!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) I been thinking about a rotisserie for my blue 510 I have all apart. I have seen a couple in pics. Not sure how to get the body high enough to connect it. Never used one but it looks great for doing most all the body especially the under side of the car.i thought I saw one that broke down to about three or four pieces that's what I need. Can't wate to see some pics. Keep us posted and good luck with it all. And glad you have a garage for it. Edited January 6, 2019 by edekalil 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Edekalil, The one I build is just two pieces without a connector in the middle. Solid and hasn't moved since the car went on it one year ago. Super easy and cheap to make!! Quote Link to comment
