Rotora 6 pot and 4 pot BBk cheap
Okay here my situation. I had my Rotora brake calipers and rotor hats sent out to be sand blasted and then powder coated a new color
The dude that I sent them out to complete messed the brakes up. I was going to take them somewhere else to get redone but they wont even fit my new set of wheels so I'm not even going to bother with them.
The calipers and hats look multi colored because of the sand blasting.
The guy took them apart because I sent them to him all in one piece.
Problems with the brakes.
One of the piston is seized in place. When I got the calipers back it was sticking out a bit so I put a c-clamp to it and pushed it back in. It should be able to come out now with some compressed air. The guy it looks like tried to pry the piston out (why I will never understand) :suicide:and caused some damage to the piston. It still looks functional but doesn't look pretty.
When he was sand blasting the the hats I guess he had the heat to high and it caused some stress cracks on the front two rotor hats
. They can be welded or you can just buy new hats.
When he tried to removed the brake line tube on one of the front calipers he broke the nut loose.
The brake line is still intact though. He also stripped the brake tube lines holes on one of the rear calipers
Missing rear brake lines
All the other pistons, seals and rings were removed before the brakes were sand blasted and I will include those.
These brakes need alittle TLC so I am willing to let them go for cheap.:thumbup:
I was so frustrated with the guy that I told him to just send me the brakes back and he refunded me my money.
Now to the pictures
Front brake with seized piston
Front brake #2
Rear brake #1
Rear brake #2
Both rears
Rotor hats
Stress cracks on front hats
Calipers/hats/pistons/seals
Pistons and seals
Just looking to get 1,200 obo for everything. These can easily be saved with alittle time but I just dont have the patients anymore plus I'm moving soon and dont want to have to bring these along. Brakes are sold as-is
If you need more pictures I can send you some no problems.

To be honest these are perfectly fixable. I looked up all the part and they cost pretty much nothing to fix.
To buy a new piston its 25 bucks plus another seal and dust boot is another 25 bucks for 2.
The only thing you would have to do is buy new front rotors or just buy new rotor hats.
These were perfectly working brakes when I sent them off. Yeah they dont look pretty right now but that what happens when you sand blast something. Once they are powdercoat they will look like new.
Considering that these where 6,000 brakes when first purchased I dont think Im asking much for a complete bbk. Thats also why I put obo bc I know ppl are quick to judge just bc they are not visually appealing. Im sure once they were powdercoated and rebuilt you would be amazed if I told you they were the same brake. I just dont have the time to mess with them and I would rather not put anymore money into them if they wont even fit my new rims coming in.

As far as a claim its kind of hard to prove they did the damage. They can just turn around and say that they recieved them like that. It suck for me but its a lesson learned. I will never ship something out like this again. Id rather do it locally where I can keep an eye on everything that is being done.
