First Time Fiat Spider Owner

your friend is Howard Walowitz from the big bang theory?

Maybe he could be but have never seen the show.
Got the caliper fixed up today.
The carbide end mill cut the easyout like butter. (Probably should mention I annealed it first with a very small ox/act tip, don't like surprises)
Then drilled to tap size, ran the 8mm by 1 tap in and cleaned the remnants out.
Turned out good and saved me some money.
Probably be doing it another 3 times.
Bore is smooth, no pitting. Piston same. Just need the rubber, new bleeder screw and good to go.
Turned the rotor , cleaned up at .367, I believe .368 is minimum, don't think .001 will be an issue.
Sorry, crappy phone pics.<P>
