Finish Product

[MarcB]

Finally got my brakes all fixed and sorted so the T is back on the road.
Next on my list if spare sachs dampers refurbished with new track rod ends and ball joints and then 4 wheel alignment.

Very Very happy with the callipers that where bought from rich on here and they are spot on.

 

[Djw John]

Nice but you've somehow got the carriers on the wrong sides, should be like this, looking for a better pic

[MarcB]

Cool cool, Looks like i will be back down the shed tomorrow night to swap these round.
Total schoolboy f**k up on my part :banghead:

 

[Bluebeard]

Fair play for fitting them that way round! You may have started a trend!

All you need now is some new wheel bolts and your wheel/brake situation will be like brand new!

 

[MarcB]

Ha Ha Ha, I doubt it and i will be changing them round the other way.

I would love TPI bolts but i think £60 is a lot of money for a few bolts.

 

[Bluebeard]

I was thinking just paint the old ones!

I certainly wouldn't spend £60 on wheel bolts.

 

[MarcB]

After looking at some pictures I'm now going to bit the bullet and order a set tomorrow even if they are £60.00

This means i will leave my calliper carriers till i get my bolts and i will do the lot at once

 

[Djw John]

Ach, everyone f***s up at some point! Yeah as Daniel says, a wee sand and paint of your nuts would finish that off nicely.

Is that how the scottish do things?!

 

[Djw John]

Yup, and then he could start on the car. I'm here all week, try the fish.

 

[MarcB]

TPI ones bought for the weekend i think.

Dave i take it there will be no damage with the carriers the wrong way round ?
Will the brake still work fine and will i have any problems ?

 

[Djw John]

By Dave I'm gonna assume you mean John!

Cant imagine it would do any damage if theyre currently working but I would do it ASAP, having never done it that way I couldn't promise either way.

 

[Bluebeard]

This thread has DELIVERED!

Hasn't it Dave?

Dave? John?

Why are my brakes upside down? Who's had the fish tonight? Hold my beer while I paint my nuts....

 

[Djw John]

Lawl!!!

You two are both the same person anyway so what does it matter.
I will try and get these changed back ASAP but i have drove the car around 10 miles and it seems to be working fine and stopping is not a problem,
I don't want to be slamming on the brakes tho as i need to bed them in

 

[Djw John]

Lol, I'll grant you that we do spend a fair bit of time with (in) each other!

As I say I really can't imagine it doing any harm in the short term.
