The quality of the new calipers is somewhat suspect, but seem to work as needed.
The first pair that I bought from BPNW had a yellow (anodized ?) finish with
numbers in the castings. The second pair from BPNW 4 years later have a silver
finish and no numbers in the casting which made me wonder about the quality.
My first set has been on my car from 2013. 13 race weekends a total of 3,800
miles.
Wilwood makes beautiful replacements now. They are anodized black. I far as I
can tell, they will fit our Triumphs, but haven't made a complete comparison.
Of course the price is higher, but more equivalent to the importance of good
brakes.
