I have now painted the calipers and applied the new high temp decals. The pistons and bleed nipples are next and them back on the car. The new stainless pins are much better than the mild steel OE items.
Sorry but the light is poor and the pictures pooh. Attachment 47329 Attachment 47330 Attachment 47331 Attachment 47332 Fronts next. |
Did a complete stripdown/power coat and rebuild of my 4 pots last year, makes a big different. Bleeding all the air out afterwards can be quite time consuming and can recommend a brake stopper as well which helped firm-up the brake feel just that little bit. Here's my post if it helps: https://www.scoobynet.com/1004847-fo...l#post11480119
Where did you get the stainless pins from for the 2 pots? |

Where did you get the stainless pins from for the 2 pots? I have a CUSCO Strut Brace with a built in Brake stopper getting refurbed as we speak so all is well. The pins I ordered by mistake for Brembo's when I had my V5 STi. I'll have to check my eBay account to see where I ordered them from. |
Cracking job cap'n!

Yes Si. Just received the new fluid. I am using the Automec Silicone long life fluid. It's DOT5 Spec, paint friendly and is not as susceptible to moisture as normal polyglycol fluid. It's used by the US military in their light vehicle fleet.
It's not cheap! |
Making some good progress Captian, looking nice and fresh

Fronts done.

The fronts needed a bit more work but it entailed some heavy duty work with the Nitromorse and a wire cup on the airline.
After a few coats of red lead Hammerite it was on with the same engine paint used on the rears. New stainless piston sets, rubbers, clips etc OE bleed nipples and caliper bolts. Attachment 46374 Attachment 46375 Attachment 46376 Attachment 46377 For some reason the light makes them look really shiney but they are not. Attachment 46378 Attachment 46379 Attachment 46380 Attachment 46381 Attachment 46382 Attachment 46383 New OE shims, clips and pads are ready to gone on when the calipers are fitted. They cost a hell of a lot less than getting them done commercially. |
