Put new rear calipers on the Honda today. They've been frozen up for quite a while now (rear disk brakes belong on race cars not street cars) and the rotors were severely rusted. Since they were Brembo and not some Chinese crap, I decided to turn them myself, because I could . It took me about half an hour because my lathe wasn't big enough to reach both sides in one setup, but they turned out great.
Next project of the day is new bearings in the old shop vac. They were pretty odd bearings and I had to settle for generic electric motor bearings, so at least one of them will require a custom bushing to fit properly. The lathe is earning its keep today.
