Default The brake sytem over haul

Hi Guys

havent been to any of your cool meets yet but if i get these bakes bled will be at the stacity meet and many more to come.

I Brought the car as a project to work on as every man has to have somthink to do in our spare time lol

the car is getting done bit by bit so heres a few pics of before and after on the rear brakes

the rear piston stuck on and caused that dreaded call that no one want's to make to the AA.

Also rust proofed the new rear disc's in a high gloss met grey new pads, new shoes, and fully refurbed the calipers my self found a great web site to get your break parts from, fitted new pistons seals and sliders the pics of the front will come next

What do ya thinks guy's and gals

Lovely refurb job you've done there mate, great work!


Seen your post on the General Chat thread about the spongy pedal...the only thing I can think of if you've already bled the system correctly is a hose beginning to fail. Upgrading the hoses to Goodridge stainless steel hoses eliminates any spongyness in the brake pedal - you may have already done this though
