MARAUDER engraved calipers (zack brakes)

[lji372]

i'm undecided on how i want to do this.
i want to know where the interest lies.
i'd prefer A.

i will only deal with clean calipers for any process, do not send me parts you pulled off your car without properly washing them down.


this will be by prepayment either way.

A. you ship me calipers i engrave and send back
B. i order calipers and ship to you engraved
C. you ship me calipers i engrave/powder coat and send back
D. i order calipers and ship to you engraved and powder coated

[Zack]

dis gon be good......



(and ANNOYING FOR YOU)

[Turbov6Bryan]

I picked B

This way you are not liable for possible poor powdercoating process, one less headache for you

We need another thread on best and cheapest place to purchase these calipers, that way you get the best prices


You da man!

[Gryphonzus]

OK I voted now when do I get my calipers????? :banana2:

[dmjarosz]

I'm actually indifferent on the choices, Id be willing to do any one of them. Depends on pricing I guess. I don't mind sourcing my own calipers and having them powdercoated then shipping to you but I know there's labor involved with disassembly, masking, etc. And I'm pretty sure you can get better quantity pricing on coating if you do it.

Do you have any pics/sketches of what the final product will look like?

[Mike D Mechanic]

Would be easier to choose if pricing was included :popcorn:

[Mebot]

Oh hell yeah Option C all the way. Engraving only for front calipers I'm sure but can I send you my rear calipers to powdercoat same color as the front?

[1Marauder]

Whatever you want!

[Mebot]

Also I just voted right now. I didn't realize there was a poll. I was browsing on my phone

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

B or D but on the fence for powder-coating.

[justbob]

Should be and option E. But A and D work..

Seriously, make it easy on yourself. Offer one design, owners supply parts and paint.

Yea what he said. You do enough for us and our cars already. We don't mind pitching in.

[parker]

I choose option "A", I just need a price.

[ledzilla]

I voted "D", but "C" or "D" would be great. I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out the powder coating shops near me, and I've seen your awesome handiwork in the sample photos.

+++ I don't know what the engraving looks like.

[vkirkend]

I vote for D, and I'm willing to prepay so you know you won't get stiffed in the end.

I'm guessing I'm the only one who sees what you did right thurr. :beer:

Has there been any update on this?

[SGT_MERC]

I already have a brand new set of blank Corvette calipers sitting in my garage... Would you do those?

Nice.... Nicely done

[lji372]

Okay folks I guess it's time to get a pre-payment order list going.
Sorry I've put this off so long, we picked up at the shop and that always puts hobby parts behind.

I'm only taking prepayment orders.
I will purchase the calipers with brackets on your behalf- disassemble, engrave, powder coat, re-assemble, and ship to your door in the conus for $525. Price is higher than I'd like to charge but the part handling is very time consuming, sorry.
I will do the letters in a different color for an additional $100 (why so much for letters? Because I don't want to do them, they are a pita).
Color options are
Black
Red
Yellow
Blue
(I can do the letters in a chrome powder coat as well)
I'll need 6 to get started.
PayPal to lji_372@yahoo.com with color(include letter color as well) and shipping address.
Expect no less than a 4 week timeline.

[DWSTANG67]

Ok not to be a problem but if i ship you my calipers witch are already painted and u engrave will my paint be affected.

[88CuttyClassic]

Updated pictures???
X2 or is there another thread with pics?

[Gccch]

"With brackets"? You are powder coating the brackets also?

I already purchased brackets from you. They have been sitting on a shelf. So if I want them coated I send them back? Is the $525 including a set of brackets?

[1Marauder]

"Brackets? BRackets? We don't need no stinking brackets"

Gerry,

I can't resist. Need 2 sets by the end of March.

He said that he will buy calipers with brackets, that means he will be buying LOADED or SEMI LOADED calipers that include the caliper MOUNTING bracket, the big bulky bracket the caliper sets inside of

Not the adapter bracket he makes,..

Are your brackets anodized?

yes, powder coating the brackets that come with the calipers.

does not come with the adapter bracket. add $165 if you need those too.

[Cougar_Marauder]

I'm in.

Pics here (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=94024&page=54) for those looking

[Gryphonzus]

Money sent for Black with Chrome letters. Let me know if I sent the right amount. Now to hurry up and wait for my Christmas present.:bows:

OK, I have the adapters, so I'm good. But I still don't know what you are referring to. I have not had mine apart ever. Have not even had the wheels off.

My F150 calipers mount to two threaded holes. Is the Marauder caliper similar? I thought the adapters were simply moving those holes into position for the new calipers.

The corvette brake caliper does not fit the ford caliper bracket, your truck has a caliper bracket too
Something has to hold that new caliper right? So when you buy calipers buy them semi loaded so it includes the bracket that the caliper nessles into

This is just a random picture

[ledzilla]

Gccch...

Using the picture above, the brackets of mention are the large open components. The calipers mount to these, and these in turn mount to the steering knuckle. For this upgrade, there's a custom machined bracket that mounts between these caliper brackets and the steering knuckle in order to both allow the Corvette brakes to mount on a Ford, and to set the calipers further out to accommodate the larger 14" brake rotors. The components in the picture are what Jerry is offering. The adapter bracket is not included.

I hope we have been able to address your questions.

[SGT_MERC]

Still haven't answered my question. Can I send you my brand new calipers and bracket? If so, how much will the bill be?

OK, I get it now. I always thought a caliper was both those items mounted together. So now I just need to decide what color.

Now you need to decide which ceramic pads to get!

[lji372]

fyi

i will also do option B (i'll supply calipers engraved) for $440


cut off date this run will be 11/30/16

[SGT_MERC]

Screw it...I'll get them done somewhere else. Thanks for answering my question. Anyone else, people would be falling all over themselves trying to answer.

I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. Option C, not B.

[SGT_MERC]

Ok then, what's the price?

[lji372]

Take off $219

That is always my concern.

No worries. Stay insured I have some of those in stock too :D

[Mr. Man]

Jerry have you or can you scale the engraving down to fit the stock calipers? :)

[lji372]

:eek: no..........

or yes, for $525 :D

[Mr. Man]

[Gccch]

Jerry,

Sorry, one more question. The pics in the other thread show the engraving with a second color for the letters (red caliper, black lettering). Does anyone have a picture of the engraving without the second color? I'm thinking this is not too impressive. Is it really worth engraving the caliper without having the contrasting color in the engraving? What am I missing?

last chance this run, ordering calipers today.

[Gccch]

OK I'm in. Even as I advertise my car for sale I'm spending money on it. Maybe this convinces me to keep it and drive the hell out of it.

Payment on the way, Zack.

[ledzilla]

Count me in. Came into some extra cash the other day, so I think I'll do something nice with some of it.

Include powercoating options and shipping address in PayPal notes?

I'll powder coat rears to match. There just isn't enough real estate to make them worth engraving imho.

$625 shipped.

Next run will be April. Could be sooner if there is enough interest. I'll start a prepayment list in march. These are only done on a prepayment basis.

[lji372]

I have one set up for grabs. Haven’t powder coated them yet, figured I’d off them here for a day before posting on Facebook.

[Peace2Peep]

I'll take them!!! I'm working with Curless on a resurrection project. I'll send funds by Wed if thats cool!??

[NATEHAWK]

I need a pair to complete my big Brake project I been putting off for two years. I have everything but Caliper right now. I really don't want to go with the plain jane ones. Anyone has Jerry contact DM it to me please.
