Welcome to Solent Renegades Car Club, @Marty.

Original for comparison.

Photo of the new front discs after some bedding in.

Test drive yesterday went really well. The black paint had been removed from the front brakes, still some on the rears. I plan to do more test driving today. During my drive yesterday it was down country lanes, that way I could apply brakes and wouldn't be any one behind. I could pull into layby...

Thanks for posting, added to the calender. Always great to get things advertised. Thanks

Very true, can make pipes easily now, and can bleed the brakes in under 5 mins once the wheels are off.

Brackets modified Brackets painted. Brackets fitted. They fit really well now. Got myself a brake bleeding kit. Works really well. Pressurising the brake resivour and releasing the bleed valves l All calipers bled, all 8 valves. Yep 8 valves, there are 2 at the top of each caliper.

Thanks for the thoughts. That tool looks ideal, and there would be some good clamping places. I asked someone in the car club, which then pointed me to Nigels work. He works at Jim Stokes. He said bring the parts in and he will take a look. He managed to get some time today to work on it. Don't...

Brakes.

Do you have a milling machine? I need to shave off 2mm from this face. Needs to be a constant 2mm.

With more gear I got the joint separated. Same for both sides This means I can keep the old pipe. Flexible pipe added. This side is done(if no leaks) Other side, I need and adjustment on the bracket. A milling machine would do it.

Wow, was that long ago. Still not fitted it yet. Maybe this year. Lol.

Pai ted thr other two today.
