[s-cars] 928GTS caliper (last question, swear to god)

[Mike Fitton]

Thanks, that's what I was thinking too.  I already swapped the stuff and 
aside from the entire finished caliper being dipped in black paint and 
my flare nut wrenches not fitting on the crosspipes, it was pretty painless.

Thanks to all who did all the research for this setup, because I did 
basically none.  I feel pretty good about it looking at the pieces in 
the floor.  If all goes well, my writeup will be posted online something 
this weekend if anyone's interested.  That'll be 
www.bahnburnr.net/c4s6.html .

So what are you doin on Friday night?

-Cheers!
Mike
