I sent another letter of to the supplier, as both rebuilt calipers are missing
the plates, and one of the pistons is not machined but has the step: still has 
cast surface.

Adney, how much would it cost for a rebuild with caliper cores without the 
plates?  How much would the plates cost by themselves?  Starting to regret 
going the big business route and thinking I should not send my cores out.

When I do get the plates, will be sure of this.  Why is there a difference?


Thank you,
