Might as well, while you've got good access with the suspension out.

Yes. Stay with red. Red calipers are much faster.

Off to TDR on Friday for Mark to put it on the dyno and check it’s running as it should be.
Then off to see Ryan on the 5th May to have the Alcon brakes fitted.
Then drivers day at Prescott hillclimb on 9th May.

Front brakes bled today Alcons are top class excellent stopping power.
The car will be off the road for the whole of August so Ryan can refurb the rear suspension.

I’m sure he’ll do a great job: he got plenty of practice on mine earlier this year.

I plan to go to Prescott drivers day on the 19th September and Ryan has said with the amount of work he has he doesn’t think the car would be done in time.
So the rear refurb will be done over the winter.
