Title: Brake calipers on Ebay
Post by: kenhan on July 24, 2012, 01:40:06 am

Hi, What about this and two other Sandcast Calipers from this seller

I´m not sure if there is Tokico without numbers (looks like all are sandblasted) and the frame number picture also looks suspicious. He is referring to three separate sandcasts which he is "parting out". Also take a look at the "recessed" igniton

I call sellers like this "Tool Squeezers"  ::) Sandblast should be the descriptor rather than sandcast  ;D These are shot either way you look at them KP

this seller misrepresents his parts and tells untruths.  i noticed the allen screws looked lke ace hardware screws and asked him if all parts that were pictured with the caliper were original and correct.  he said they were.
