Looks stunning. I will get up there at some point, my friend has family on Isle of Lewis and we keep talking about going up, but it's a fair drive up from Yorkshire !
Looks a decent project, plenty track and race cars running oe brake set up with some suitable pad compounds , decent fluid and brake cooling from the front fogs. I can you sorted with the brakes and other parts , clutches , Powerflex and oe bushes etc. Send me a PM if want any info/help
BTT should be able to help with the vacuum line.
If wanting to change/upgrade the brakes for track, send me a PM as I can supply various discs, pads, fluid, braided lines (kits and custom both Goodridge and Hel) , OE Renault brake lines etc etc (y)
cheers @Darren S . Welcome along @del 172 , i can supply various parts, including lots of brake parts, discs/pads/fluid/braided lines etc etc, get in touch if need any help
If doing plenty of track days the front DS1.11 are certainly worth considering. Plenty 172/182 track and race cars now running these , cost more initially but wear well so work out good VFM as not replacing them as often, work well from cold, and are kind on discs.
Need any help get in touch...
These are the spacers James mentioned, these been missing or fitted wrong way round , along with wrong hub nut torque are main causes of rear bearings failing in the discs mate
fit them Tapered side Towards car , flat side to bearing casing...
Thanks again Dan!
After using pretty much all the couriers going for RTR over the years, using DPD now and they've been spot on, it's also very close to the unit which is great. The 1 hour time slot text for delivery, saves you waiting in all day, and I send a lot of brakes/parts to garages...
