[V8] emergency

[Michele_Deltergo at KeyBank.com]

Not sure why your low mileage calipers are gone but I suppose that's 
neither here nor there. Also not sure why, with a 17+ year old car, the 
concern on reusing used parts, (good luck finding new Euro lights that you 
mention :0)!) even with caveat below. Wrenches get paid by the hour 
whether the parts fail and need to be replaced in 1,000 miles or 100,000 
miles. If you have a good relationship, he should be willing to work with 
you. When I went through my V8 I went with a lot of "used" parts from 
sunshine state cars that sure were better than what came off my car.  That 
said I have a set of used, ready to use or rebuild ATE's that I got for 
when my originals crapped out, that hasn't happened so I can provide them 
should you not find new.  Pretty sure I also have new rebuild seals for 
them somewhere.  Should be lots of options before respending the purchase 
price of the car for new brakes.

Option #2:  Yes, I know that used ATE calipers are available, however I 
will
not use them on my car for two reasons.  These are being installed by my
mechanic, and while he might be willing as a last resort to install used
brake calipers, I know that he does NOT want to do that, and it might 
really
strain the relationship to ask.  In the entire state of Maine there are 
very
few really good, high quality Audi service centers, and since this one is
less than 15 miles away, I don't want to muck with the system.
