A Series of Unfortunate Events
So last saturday I got my new brake calipers. Only to find out they're dual pot brake calipers, not single pot ones like I needed. So I ordered another brake caliper from a different website promising it will fit 139qmb engines, well it doesn't. I have an extra single pot brake caliper that won't fit. So then I ordered a 1.5k torque spring from absolutelyscooters and waited a week for them to ship it only to find out when it got here that they don't even sell 139qmb torque springs and what I ordered was for 150cc engines. They of course don't allow returns...
Despite checking very carefully and asking for help on making these orders in the forums I have failed entirely to order properly... Does anyone even know where to begin to look for new brake calipers? I'm beginning to think my best bet is to give up on that and settle for my severely worn out ones that I have now. If all this weren't bad enough... I went to install my new intake manifold yesterday and I noticed something was missing. My sock-covered UNI filter! I have had this UNI filter for 8 days and already for some reason it must've come off when I hit a bump or the sock got caught on the tire, who knows. So now I'm sidelined until the new filter I ordered comes in the mail...

Thanks, Hank. I forgot to check Mainely scooters. I tried checking their whole store on Amazon, but that's where my search ended.
Here's a pic:
