Yeah, I wound it in enough so I could get the pads on and spin the disc freely.

Just swapped the discs over, no problem at all… But.. the rear wheels don’t spin freely on their own when jacked up. Like I’m having to physically push them round. Sounds like the pads are up against the disc to tightly. No, handbrake is not on. What did I do wrong this time? 😂

Anybody got any track footage of Anglesey in a 1*2? Either layout. Time to get some lap research done 🤓

Not really mate. The only way to get rid of that sticky stuff is to actually strip it from the plastic pieces. Sure a few people on here have done it successfully with warm soapy water but it does involve removing the trim pieces from the car.

Get some auto finesse obliterate - the gel version. Strips the leftover sound deadening residue with ease. Removing Sound deadening is a boring job though.

Not bad…. Not bad at all!

@FrogJam Motorsport Legend! Super fast delivery, Super reliable!

Haha piss off! The way I see it is I got free brake discs for 30 laps of Blyton. Sponsored by MTEC. Master technicians.

Fred at frogjam has sorted me out 👍

I just ordered them anyway. Sick of talking about brakes 😂

Haven’t spoken to them but presuming they are in stock? It shows low stock but I don’t want to be waiting 10 weeks lol. Reckon just order them online and take it as they are in stock?

Where from lol. I can’t find them anywhere

Where can I get rear discs from now with the bearings and 44 tooth abs rings in place?

They are an absolute s**t show. After waiting for their “technicians” to get in touch they sent me an email saying that I hadn’t fit the spacers behind the disc. They then moved onto “oh it’s because you have a stud nut kit fitted” What, like every other track car you supply “performance”...

Image of drivers side which I took off after above emails to check.

I am now in an email dispute with MTEC. They are saying they have never seen this before and have not had reports of any other failings and they are speaking with their tech team. They are happy to send me out new discs at no cost however feel they are pushing this back on my as a fitting...

No ABS light so hopefully all good. All the teeth looked ok on the rings. Nice one for sorting airbag light 👍 I was under the impression that MTEC were meant to be a decent brand. Clearly not. The bearings, bar the seal on the drivers side were actually tight as hell and smooth. I think the...

I will have to check the sensors. I already get the service light on due to the airbags being removed. Will it just be the service light if the abs sensors are broken aswell? Or is there any other way to tell

Ok…. So further investigation has proven a massive failure with the bearings. Either not sent out correctly from factory or very poor quality in manufacture. Basically, the circlip had come out from its housing (unless it was never in there from the start) which allowed the bearings to slide...

Nice. You can come out with me anytime 👍 Might not have any brakes though 😉

Off topic… are you going to CSF this year @JamesBryan

Ah perfect. Found them. Does the abs ring just pull off?

The rings on these MTEC ones are brand new so I could swap them over. Still can’t see the 26 tooth ones on there though?

Can’t seem to find the SNR ones on there? No

I won’t be putting these discs back on anyway now so I’m going to investigate.

Yes that makes sense

My theory is, after many cups of tea…. The circlip hasn’t been seated properly, from MTEC factory I may add. It didn’t make any noise to start with but when heat has got into the brakes it has allowed the bearing to slide outwards, towards the wheel. This has then allowed the disc to sit...

Nope, not any play. It doesn’t look like the circlip is in any type of recess? Looking on frogjam at the OE Brembo discs, the bearing seems to sit a lot closer to the hub face than these MTEC ones.

Here are some cleaner pics. Could it be the bearing has been pressed to far in? Or will it only go so far and it seats against something? It didn’t make any grinding noises until around my 3rd session out on track.
