I did not mention this because the reality is many if not most people just do not have the time. In the scramble for the dollar and all the complications of modern life. There just does not seem to be enough of it for far too many.

Reflecting on this. Current members may be some of the last generations that will be doing much work on their cars. It also is of no help at all that they are becoming more complex all the time.

My price quoted for having a caliper locally rebuilt was up here in Canada where it makes a lot more sense. We do not have easy access to these cars calipers at anywhere near American prices.

Plus even availability is getting thin. Shipping is also getting very high to get them delivered from the United States. Plus if they want a core back it makes it a disaster.

American local rebuilds may be cheaper there as well. Plus it is just not the newer cars but many things that seem to break today are far more difficult than in the past to deal with ourselves.

I also look for opportunities for any younger member needing a dollar. If shipping in the states is bearable. Get some cheap cores from auto wreckers and rebuilt a stock to sell to members.

Equipment wise it is pretty economical and not extremely difficult to work on. Others are doing it on some items. Who knows how busy you might become as word spread and you catered to more brands. Might even blow a mortgage away if you had one.

After spending yesterday out Christmas shopping with the wife. She had been telling me it is getting to be a pretty expensive world out there in general. I am now much more of a believer. Normally she takes care of almost all these things herself.
