Oh dear Matt
Your cars are really keeping you (and your metal bashing skills) busy... Good work though.
Against that, you got your money's worth out of those brake pads and your work on your wind back tool reminded me of how I once made a custom Xantia one as no general-purpose tools would do the job - I still have it.

I can't wait for that - weather I thrive in. I definitely don't in our current stuffHuskyxantia wrote: 07 Jun 2026, 20:03 Next week is up n down with the weather but next weekend I heard 32° .... but we will see.

Thanks for the link Husky, definitely a good price. I wondered about the use of that type - as doesn't push the piston in (or rather only pushing with the ratch is the only force in that direction) where as my type, the threaded section is pushing it in whilst rotated.
