Caliper Refurb / 325mm Discs

[yg54sg]

Hi All, just purchased some 330d E46 calipers from ebay which I believe are 325mm if my googling is correct Got them for 63 quid which is a bargain! Includes discs (which i will likely throw away) hubs (not needed) and carriers

Anyone any tips on refurbing? Im guessing sandblasting is the way to go rather than wire brush and effort? Was watching this video on refurbing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5AVMcSaAwU might have a go at changing the rings and bushes too.

Can anyone recommend any paint, I have been using hammerite and while it works well its too thick, I want that silver OEM look from thinner paint....

Very tired:

As long as they came off the right E46, i.e. a 330i or 330d from memory.

thanks for the tips guys, i have been assured they come off the 330d so they should be 325mm, i'll take my tape measure with me just in case just need to find somewhere that does sand blasting.

Hi luke,
Were you on the A14 earlier this afternoon? Saw you take a roundabout at a good lick. Car looks great and low! What springs are you using.

Sorry op for hijacking the thread!
