Great progress with these, I must pull my finger out and get the beam off. I replaced the OS handbrake cable which i found had corroded while replacing the caliper seals. The shell rust where the beam mounts looks a little bit worse than I had hoped for, that and the few bits of dodgy bodywork...

Hows this all progressing, I've done mine all a bit backwards having just overhauled the rear calipers and fitted hub spacers. I'm just waiting for lighter evenings to get the beam off and tackle the rust on the shell where it mounts, fingers crossed it's not gone too far

Replaced the OS handbrake cable, I can confirm that the Pagid ones listed for ph2 172s from ECP fit perfectly.

Just when I thought I'd decided which to get, thanks though.

A minor leak is a result!

I got mine done by a local woman who does wheel refurbs which makes complaining more difficult than if I'd gone to a big firm.

I've just had the same issue with my freshly powdercoated wheels, quite annoying really as two have had to go back for different reasons.

NLA according to my local Renault

I left one over night in deox gel after a wire brushing but it barely touched them. Hydrate 80 was my next plan

What's the flat connecting bar that connects the sliders on the rear calipers called (yoke?) and what is its purpose? Mine are pretty rusted, are they still a available?

Thanks I'd looked at similar ones to those but got my usual indecision, I regularly find myself needing to do bits of plumbing to fit kitchens but have used either compression or push fit so it might be a better idea to get the more capable one. Soldered joints not only look better but are...

I wish my powdercoater was as competent as yours, cracking finish on them!

Haha yeah both I think now! Drivers side is a dodgy mechanic made copper job a d the passengers is seized

Wheres the best place to get rear brake lines? The union on mine has seized to the pipe meaning I've had to rotate the caliper to get it off

Started a bit of a brake refurb, the union on the brake line is seized to the line itself so looks like I need new ones on the back😫

I need to get a blowtorch to free up caliper bleed nipples, which gases get hotest or rather which would be best for this purpose? Any recommended torches

I thought I was going mad then, they must be two a penny

The boot badges are the same as ph2 arent they? I've got a full set of boot badges here, no double sided tape on them though

Stanley knife the black cover off, hacksaw down one side continuing the cut across the top, whack a slotted screwdriver into the cut and it will come off easy. Generous dust sheeting to save the mess

Are you near me then?

At that price and for the hassle you might as well put new wishbones on to be honest

Oh miles yeah, I put pirelli pzeros on after that and the difference was night and day

I had accelera alpha on the back of my 182, absolutely shocking! It was like having supermarket trolley wheels on the back end

Yep ebay ones are perfect but a little long so need cutting, I got one for about a tenner a year ago

There are positives to having a scruffy one like mine

Heading from Ludlow to Kington is a good road too but a bit potholey so be careful especially the Rhyse lane, drop off loads of 172 goodies as you pass my house😉

If they aren't leaking I'd leave them well alone personally

Had a white Clio 1.2RL years ago and now a white Caddy, great when clean....dont stay clean very long if you live rurally though

I could show you some great roads around me (Kington, Herefordshire) but I'm working😫 anywhere from me out towards Brecon, Builth or Rhayader are good. In fact go to Rhadader Dams!

Those are 172 black inserts, more charcoal though in reality
