Further to a recommendation on this forum I went ahead and had my brakes anodised.
The service and quality of work this guy has given deserves a shout.
Brakes posted Monday
Email from chap Tuedsay brakes arrived on with stripping internals out.
Email Thursday finished and posting back.
Arrived Saturday.

Costs to strip lever bodies and calipers then anodise
2 x lever bodies
2 x calipers
3 x bore caps
2 x matchmaker clamps
1 x brake mount

Then re-build brakes
£42.50 posted. 😀

Teamed up with carbon Goodridge hose and goodridge black fittings. Stealth tastic for my new build.

Well worth it if you fancy a change. Let me know if you want the chaps contact details.

I wonder if you should just post his details, there's a lot of interest. Unless of course he'd rather you didn't.

OTOH, i'm considering getting something similar done to my x2s, that's gorgeous.

Details please, mail in profile. 🙂

Hi
Just thought I should introduce myself.
I am Steve, the anodiser responsible for all the shiney and colourful bits about the place.

The main reason for this post is that due to a monumental **** up on hotmails part, I have had to change my Email address to stevebarry1978@googlemail.com.

Sorry for any inconveinience.

Regards

Steve Barry

No problem. M4's are easy to work on and yes, please don't hessitate to contact me for any anodising.
Ive lost quite a lot of customers since my hotmail account f***ed up so hopefully anybody that needs me will be able to track me down again soon enough.

Steve
