Metal shavings in the fluid chamber of the caliper I bought from rock auto

I got my vehicle all torn apart and got ready to install this caliper from rockauto and when I opened the rubber gasket to inspect the fluid chamber, I discovered a spiral of metal shavings inside the threaded area down inside.

It took me an hour to fish it out and to feel moderately confident that there wasn't any other shavings lurking in there but it's got me worried about the quality of the
item and if there might be other contaminants inside the fluid areas where it's critical to be free of that stuff.

I had no choice but to install it anyway, but it was a really bad experience and it complicated my install.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Here's some pictures of it. It should have never passed quality checks. I'd hate to see what could have happened if I didn't see this before getting it installed!

Edit: Brand was "Top Notch"

Dragonsword Awakening- here's how to get HDR working on your OLED steamdeck

For anyone using a steam deck OLED and trying to get HDR to be recognized by Dragonsword Awakening so they can enable it in the in game settings, I found a workaround.

Use the launch option command in the steam game settings to disable steam deck detection by putting the following command in that launch option text box in the general settings before launching the game:

SteamDeck=0 %command%

The game will think you don't have a steam deck and you'll be able to enable HDR... But the game will also not be running properly. The buildings will all be missing. It's kind of interesting to look at, but just save the game, quit. And remove the launch option code and start the game again.

It will then run properly, and the HDR settings will still be enabled

Looks great on the OLED

If you give it a try, let me know how it works for you
