Calipers are Outlaw calipers, an upgraded version of the ones offered with the older Pettit BBK. The rotor is 1.25" thick, and a hair under 13" diameter. It's the absolute biggest that the caliper would allow.

The caliper was sent back to Outlaw and they enlarged one of the piston bores, so now they are slightly offset, helping to even out the brake pressure and pad ware.

To do the lettering I painted the calipers black, put stickers on, painted them blue, and then peeled the stickers off. I should have wet sanded them down a bit, as now there is a bit of a lip between the black base coat and the 3 coats of blue.

The wiring labels were on plastic, adhesive backed labeling. I haven't had any problems yet, but then again i haven't driven my car haha.
