Exclamation Wilwood 6-pot FRONT/4-pot REAR big brake setup - needs some love

Hi guys

I have finally got off my butt and got my brakes from my old car ready for sale. Bought from Scoobytuner.com in summer 2007, a red Wilwood 6-pot front big brake kit and red 4 pot rear big brake kit. Original details of when I bought/fitted them available here:
https://www.scoobynet.com/624403-sen...ml#post7196451

I sold that car in 08/2008 with the brakes still in mint condition. Bought that car back in 05/13 with what I suspected was a big end gone but there was far more to it than that.

The owner of the car in those years turned out to not be a good scoob owner. I drove the car back on these brakes but due to the engine being shot I did no brake tests so I cannot confirm just how well they work as I was too busy balancing the accelerator to not stall at traffic lights etc.

He put 30k miles on the car/brakes between buying the car from me and selling it back.

Anyway, I removed the brakes, tired rotors, hoses and brackets. If it was me I would fit new rotors on to the 4 bells, new hoses and refurb the calipers for peace of mind. Also, 1 bolt had seized on the rear caliper bracket but I drilled this out with no thread damage whatsoever but you will need to source a new mounting bolt.

I had forgotten that even the nipples that join the brake lines to the hoses are bespoke so I will remove these from the car in the next day or two but, here are the pictures (high-res), including instructions and the original bill for $3000!:

£420 collected from Farnham, Surrey FOR THE LOT. If I absolutely have to, £455 delivered (weight). The price is not up for haggling guys as I think there is enough of a bargain there to make someone very happy. With the fact that I still have the original receipt this will make sourcing the correct spares/service kits through Scoobytuner/Wilwood much easier.

Cheers,

Nick.
