"By the way, refurbed calipers, like junkyard spindles, are beconing harder to find. "
Rebuilt Granada calipers "hard to find"? Whattaya mean? They're like $15 bucks a O'Reilly's Auto parts every day. Plus $5 core of course. If your price includes the pictured brake hose too then you've got a deal tough to beat as the hoses are $10 each. This puts your price on par with a rebuilt Ford caliper and yours has the stainless added value. Even without the hose it sounds like a fair price. You'll probably do better just pricing them in with the kit though, I wouldn't expect too many "just caliper" sales.
The OD color is probably OK. People should realize they are buying stock style 1970's brakes, not 2006 PBR's. Hmmm. Somehow the last bit doesn't sound like too strong a selling point. Probably not a phrase you'll want to use.

You will find that the refurbs will become more and more expensive. I have experience considerable difficulty lately finding enough calipers to keep up with my kit shipments. That is why I am manufacturing them. I must assure the supply for me and for replacement customers.
