Not to bad once you get hang of it

todays job was to clean the brakes, was advised to do this maybe once a year because the calipers dont have dust seals

Smart pads removed

loads of life left on the wilwood pads

calipers off and state of brake deposits

pushed pistons out against some wood

used some wurth brake cleaner to clean up the calipers and pistons

caliper back on

all back together

I do love them calipers.

If you suddenly jump on the brakes, it must be like hitting a wall!!

did the mirror bases

also wrapped my spare dash surround and is for sale if anyone wants it, quite a unique item now

 

[slayllian]

[ScubaSteve]

was feeling frisky after work tonight so launched into more weight saving lol
started to cut round the seal line of the boot

all the way round

drilled out spot welds

started tearing bits off

off

line followed quite nicely with the rubber seal i thought

need to tidy up those spot welds somehow, maybe a deep bit of edge trim will do then of course everything is going to be sprayed up nicely when the cage is in

edge trim on

shit removed

about 8kgs there altogether, that coupled with these i also removed

they are 1kg EACH equals about another 10kgs gone
