don't forget the pics :icon_biggrin: love to see what it looks like with the black wheels:icon_lol:
Phil me old mucker me old mate....
Any news/updates regarding a delivery date for the brakes....??
Lookin good Phillipa, but please, replace those Nylock nuts with metal lockers. That nylon will soften and if it gets hot enough will melt out of the nut. Personally, there's no way in hell i'd leave them on the way i'd plan on using them. Can they not do UNF bolts to thread straight into the hub like the OE setup?
Otherwise, they should make it stand on it's nose. I'll be very interested in a comparison brake test against my standard setup on the Quadra which is eyeball poppingly silly at the minute :icon_biggrin: you might even convince me to buy some one day lol
Looking good Phil, we still on for this Friday...???
The last problem was the pads. They were very close to the centre of the bells. Hi-Spec decided that they should machine the outer edge of the pads back. They thought that after heating up the, metalwork may expand slightly, and rub on the on the bells. Anyway 15 mins later, pads emerged modified :icon_wink:
Why did they do this?
Shurly they know what size pads fit there caliper's. Or had you asked for some thing different?
Also are all pads going to need this mod before they will fit?
