Got a fair bit done lately but its still a long way off mot ready :(



I rebuilt my front calipers over a few lunch breaks.


IMAGE_075.jpg



Got a seal kit for them.

IMAGE_085.jpg



Piston out, all in very good condition,

IMAGE_086.jpg



IMAGE_087.jpg



Fitted the new seal to the caliper housing then fitted the new dust seal to the piston

IMAGE_088.jpg



IMAGE_089.jpg




All done!


IMAGE_090.jpg



Didnt really need a rebuild tbh but its done now and I know they are good.

Ive also given them a quick coat of black hamerite (but only the bit you can see through the wheels ;))





Ive slowy been refurbing some wheels to run as my road wheels, the team dynamics ones will be on track duty.


These wheels have quite a bit of history. I bought them off Pheonix and intended to use then on my phase 2. I lent them to Justin, then to schweppy (who had a blow out) then I sold them to a mate and then bought them back again.





Some where in a sorry state so I rubbed down the affected areas. Some were worse than others.

When they were all ready I set up a temporary spay booth in the garden

IMAGE_091.jpg



The primer reacted badly with something on the surface of the wheels. I should of degreased them before spraying.

They didnt look too bad after the satin black had gone on. My mrs said they had a leather effect to them, Lol. They look ok from a distance.

IMAGE_092.jpg




As you can see my dog isnt overly impressed with the quality of my spraying.

The next day I went down my mates to fit some tyres on them. I already had a pair of lghly scrubbed Toyo T1R's so bought another pair to match.

This wheel took some ballancing, think that will be a rear one, Lol.

One set all done, got nothing to bolt them too yet but they are ready for when the day comes.

Finally plugged the 'glory hole' left in the bulkhead by the a/c box removal.


IMAGE_095.jpg




Hunted through the attic and found some white bathroom sealer.


IMAGE_096.jpg



Just the job.


IMAGE_097.jpg




sealed all around it now




One big job that needed doing was making all the new brake lines, luckily we found the rear ones joined on the passenger side so I didn't have to run new ones all the way to the back of the car. This ment a change of plan for where the bias valve was to be fitted. Altho I think its a good outcome.


First I had to fit some unions to allow the brake lines to pass through the bulkhead (to go to the bias valve)

IMAGE_111.jpg



Drilled two holes for them.


IMAGE_110.jpg




and fitted. One for in and one for out.


IMAGE_112.jpg



I borrowed all the brake pipe making kit from my mate.

IMAGE_106.jpg




I havent made a brake pipe in almost 7 years so I set it all up in the back of my van and had a little practice

IMAGE_108.jpg


IMAGE_109.jpg




very very pleased with my third effort :eek:

IMAGE_117.jpg




First pipe cut to length and roughly bent to shape.

IMAGE_114.jpg



And into the 'flare factory'

IMAGE_116.jpg



tada!

IMAGE_118.jpg



Only another 8 to go! :dead:


Got some splitter blocks off ebay


IMAGE_107.jpg



Fitted one, to spilt the front circuit, to one of the bolts on the bulkhead panel and the rear one fitted nicely into one of the old captive nuts for the abs pump.


IMAGE_119.jpg



I carried on making pipes and after about 4 hours work over 2 days they were done.


Front split.........

IMAGE_124.jpg




Rear split....

IMAGE_125.jpg




All very neat, quite pleased with it all, just need to get a few P clips to secure them in a few places, just to be safe.




So then all that was left was the bias valve side of the system.

I drilled a hole in the headlamp adjuster panel.

IMAGE_126.jpg



and fitted the valve to the panel.

IMAGE_127.jpg




Plenty of room for the pipes.


IMAGE_129.jpg




Trial fitted to the dash. Mmmmm.........

IMAGE_128.jpg



Made up some more pipes :rolleyes: and the brake circuits are done, Thank f**k!
