I have this for rear calipers that require winding back... I didn't pay anywhere near the price it seems to be now though 😂

And this for 4 pot calipers, which can also be used on single piston too...
Don't need grinding with the shims removed I find.
The Winmax in mine do knock when going from forward and reverse as you brake with them removed though 😅
I've always cleaned them using G101 at 1:4
Can't see myself paying £10+ for these dedicated tyre cleaners that we're seeing now from the big brands. I'd imagine they'll be very good though.
Microfibre cutting pads from Lake Country/Meguiars if it's bad paint.
Yellow Rupes pad and Sonax Perfect Finish for everything else.
Maybe a white Rupes pad if you just want to use a glaze.
It may not have loosened, but possibly that the belt tension has probably evened out now?
Did you turn the engine over by hand at least 6 times and recheck the tension?
You'll want a fused junction box if you're relocating the battery as well.
Mount it near the stock battery location then run your cables to and from that.
If you search battery relocation kits on eBay you'll see what I mean.
Can be to anything metal.
Just keep it separate as it's own earth though, don't have anything else earthed at the same point.
Use decent cable too 8 or 10 gauge or 25mm² is it?
