All on and fitted this morning. Easy job to be fair with the full axle kit.
Realised I should have started at the hardline end so the new braided lines can pass through the existing holes where the flexis used to be.
I’ve only finger tightened it all at the moment anyway so will re-route back...
Braided axle hoses turned up today. Very fast delivery and had them in the fastest colour.
Is it just a case of screwing and unscrewing now?
Do I need to be keeping any washers or anything important from the existing lines?
Worried about air in the ABS pump now as I have lost a lot of fluid, if not all.
If I were to bleed normally using old sloop foot on pedal and I got a firm pedal, does this mean all is good?
Failing that, if I can’t get a pedal does this mean that there is air in the pump and I will need clip...
Presuming the original lines seem to hold up ok then apart from around the rear beam area?
Just checked from the abs pump and they all look mint to be fair
That makes sense. I can visualise it now lol. As it’s not up on a ramp and everything is upside down when you are lying underneath it’s not as clear.
Out of interest, is there a kit that takes you from abs pump to front braided lines, in braided?
Just thinking outside the box to whether I can...
Have a couple of photos from the photographer from the day but this one was my favourite.
As the tyres were crap I noticed the cameraman on the wiggler so went full send for a few laps to get some air time.
That’s the plan with the mattress.
I think the issue I had is that I had a double sleeping bag so there was to much air in there to get warm.
I was folding in half, upside down, head in, head out. Literally the worst nights sleep I’ve had in ages lol.
I’m going to sleep in the back of the x5 I reckon. No way am I EVER sleeping in a tent again. 2 duvets, hot water bottle, cushions off the sofa, I’m going to town with it.
Luckily I booked today off work so all I’ve done is sleep 😂
Blyton 09/06.
An epic evening on Saturday night camping over in prep for Sundays track day. 3 of us camped over, 1 in a camper (definitely the best choice) and two of us tenting.
Got to the circuit around 5pm and caught the last few keen beans going around track.
My mate (who owns my previous...
They are but if I can replace the whole shebang of lines, ignoring what is there already before I double check what else would I need?
Ideally from BRT so I can order it all in one go.
Correct.
Right behind one of the clips that runs across the rear beam.
Had just put AR1 on to go full send after using an old set of NS2R which were absolutely horrendous but epic fun at the same time. Tyre squeal was horrific!
Only noticed the leak when I put the jack under to swap the...
Just had a brake line split and end my day at Blyton early.
Which kit do I need to get to replace the whole rear hard lines with braided?
I have braided hoses to the caliper already and they are fine.
I’ve bought some vinyl wrap for my track 172 but I’m just not getting the time to have a bash at it myself.
Is there anyone on here who could do the front and rear bumper, side wings and rear quarters if I supply the material which I already have.
Really want to get it done but wrap shops...
All ready for Blyton for next Sunday.
New handbrake cables fitted - I went for the Febi ones and fitment was fine.
Sorted a few little niggly bits where the exhaust was clanging around a bit so that’s all nice and tight now.
Bought another set of OZ F1 aswell to Chuck some old NS2R I have...
If you zoom in you can see the bits I mean in the corners and also inside of the rim itself.
Auto finesse iron x hasn’t really helped at all apart from making them look cleaner.
The hardened particles are still stuck in place.
Not much purple running off them now.
It’s like stuck on bits of metal is the only way I can describe it.
Like you could pick them off with your nail, only you can’t.
Bought some alloys purely for track use which are white.
They have etched in brake dust and wondered what you guys find best to remove and the method.
I’ve bought some iron out which has got the non stubborn dust off however the more stubborn black dots in the corners don’t want to shift...
