NEW Product increase your brakes life by 20 to 30 %.

[San Felipe Bob]

"SFB" Boots will increase your brake pad life by 20 to 30 %.

I have developed a new product to increase the life of your 2nd gen. front brake pads by 20 to 40 %.

"SFB" Boots . They keep water and dirt out of the Caliper bolts/pins.





I currenly have a version that should last as long as the pads.

They will need to be replaced when the pads are worn out.

I'm in the process of developing a heat resistive model.

This product should work on 2500 DODGE trucks with single piston calipers.



Note:

If you lube your caliper bolts every 1000 miles. This product may not increase the life of your brake pads.

If you are like me and the only time you lube your caliper bolts is when you change the pads. Then these little babies are just what you need.







PM me for further details

Thanks

"SFB" Dust Boots for your Caliper bolts.

They are here!

Description:

A dust boot that covers the exposed part of the Caliper bolt/pin.

600 degree heat resistant silicone rubber specially designed by San Felipe Bob.



Purpose:

Keeps the dust and water from contaminating the the bolt and thus causing corrosion which in turn causes the calipers to stick, drag, and ruin your brakes.

Venture offroad with confidence knowing that your calipers are well protected.

Take a look at the 3rd gen. caliper boots.

Notice the nice rubber boot?

Even the the 1500's have a better design than our 2nd gen's.



The "SFB" boots are by no means a cure all.

They do go a long way to eliminate the calipers from sticking on the bolts/pins.

As you know every little bit helps!



Cost:

N/A (This is not the place to discuss numbers)

PM me for more details.



Fit:

94 to 99 2500 2x4 and 4x4 Gas and diesel

94 to 99 3500 2x6 and 4x6 Gas and diesel

Might fit the 2000 year model as well. (Anyone out there who can verify caliper types?)

They fit the single piston calipers only.





The web site is under construction. "SanFelipeBob.com"



Photo's will be up soon.



I'm seeking vendors that may be interested in selling the "SFB caliper dust boots"





Thanks

P. S. If you are interested in purchasing a set of boots please PM me for details.

Pretty cool idea Bob. My '98 does have some little rubber boots over the caliper bolts, but can't say how well they work. So how do yours attach, do they just pop on? Got any closer pics of them?

I have a set of the SFB prototype boots and they are a great idea. Easy to install and well made. A very simple but very effective idea. Way to go Bob!

SFB Caliper Boots

"Pretty cool idea Bob. "

Thanks!



Vaughn,

Yes they just "pop" (actually press/slide on by hand).

https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/attachment.php?[IMG]attachmentid=58576&stc=1

They are made of special high temperature silicone rubber.

They are sized to simply slide over the cast boss' of the caliper as shown in the photo's at [URL=http://SanFelipeBob.com]SanFelipeBob.com[/URL]

They completely cover the Caliper Bolt heads keeping them clean.



As the brakes wear the Caliper bolts sink deeper into the Calipers taking the dirt and grime with them into the rubber Caliper bushings.

When water gets on the Caliper bolts it causes them to cool drawing water into the rubber Caliper bushings.

This usually turns the grease into sticky gooo.

Causing the Calipers to stick.

SFB Caliper boots help prevent this from happening.



Once the Calipers start to stick all kinds of ugly things happen to our brakes.

Sticking/Dragging causes the brakes to wear faster.

Sticking/Dragging causes the brakes to heat up. (it's like holding your foot on the brakes while driving. )

This heat causes the the grease in the caliper bushings to get even more sticky if not completely stuck!

The heat causes the rubber caliper bushings to get hard almost brittle (Due to heat cycling).

The heat causes the brakes to fade. (not always evenly left to right )

Sooo the fade [U]can[/U] cause "pulling" during braking.

The heat also causes the rotors to warp.

The warped rotors cause the steering to jerk left and right while braking wearing out our tie-rods, track bar, steering box, ball joints, and steering shaft.

The heat also tends to "cook" the pads which can cause them to perfom less effectively.





SFB Caliper boots are not a cure all.

[B][SIZE=4]Basic installation[/SIZE] [/B]

[U][U][I]After your brakes are completely cool[/I][/U]. [/U]

All you need for proper installation is to thoroughly clean the cast boss' of the caliper to remove any dirt and grease.

Then simply push the boots on over the boss'.

I have tested them offroad and on. Towing and empty, from the Dusty Offroad race courses of Baja Oo. To the mountains of Canada in temperatures ranging from below zero to well above 120 degrees.

They perform best when combined with a new complete brake job.

However !

[B][SIZE=3]They can be installed at any time[/SIZE]. [/B]

I highly recommend installing them before traveling offroad or in wet rainy conditions commonly found in the Pacific Northwest. :D



No tools are needed for installation.

Wheels do not need to be removed.
