Another battle won

Post by Stempy »

Victory is mine once again. AX now has new discs and pads and is stopping how it should.

Got myself a pin punch from Half*rds and a set of new pins from Euro. Pin punch lasted for three pins but broke on the fourth so I fabricated my own with a lenghth of steel rod using a bench grinder to get it to the right diameter. (Half*rds have since exchanged the pin punch for a new one). Much beating later all pins were out and new parts were fitted with liberal amounts of copperease.

Calipers and pistons were in good nick and slid freely, so that was one blessing. So it's off to Dunsfold tomorrow for the Wings And Wheels Day.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

Haha, classic, sounds like you guys have the same sort of outfits we have over here, we got one called Repco, most call it Ripco, overpriced and most of their sh!t is manufactured from drop forged solder

Halfrauds actually do do some quite good tools. Their professional range is not expensive, good quality and has a lifetime guarantee on everything.
