Bizarre brake situation, how can this happen?

Why don’t you take it back to the shop and let them correct whatever is wrong?

I see many posts like this, one having work done at a shop then trying to figure out what they did wrong and fix them on his own… if one can work on it, why not DYI in the first place?

I guess you don’t feel like going back to them based on such poor job done but hope they make it right for you one way or the other.

After the cost, time, effort, and trust put into the mechanical repairs, and their complete lack of competence in an important number of tasks, I cannot allow the restorer to repair the car. All of my metric tools are hundreds of miles away in storage with my large collection of cars. I normally do all maintenance and mechanical repairs on all of my vehicles, but I will usually maintain professional services on a vehicle with only professional service history. The reason for seeking the opinion of one familiar with Boxster rear brakes is so that I can properly correct whatever the restorer has undone. It was simply a matter of convenience, especially during the global pandemic lockdown when the car was delivered to the shop. I would have done the brskes myself had I any inkling of incompetence. Owners ship their cars and trucks globally to this restorer, so I trusted the " one stop shop" to my detriment. First time ever.
