Years ago when I was still working as a wrench I had a customer come through with one of those Stealth Bomber E-bikes, that thing that is kinda a bike and kinda a dirtbike. https://stealthelectricbikes.com/

Anyways it had a set of those Gator 16 pots on the front and a 8 pot on the rear with 9" rotors before that was common, funny enough it was in for a brake job to get the brakes swapped out for a simple set of Saints because the guy wore the pads into the backing plates and couldn't find brake pads. It was a nightmare of a job to do the retrofit. I was hoping the guy wanted to junk the brakes post install as they were shot and useless but he wanted them back, offered to buy them off the guy as a collector piece and he said he would call me back. Never heard back.

So there is a chance there is a set of those floating around the Calgary Alberta area somewhere.

you're narrowing the playing field but I've still owned a few cars that cost me less than 9 yards Razz Razz

I did get the Altima for free, that was cool! The RAV was 2K and the Z... we don't talk about that.

I did finally sell another frame though! one less potential project (Which will of course make room for something else Big Grin )
