Well front brakes done..

Was a bit harder as I had to drill the disc screws out and re tap them.

Nice drilled and grooved front breaks fitted.

Will do the rears but will buy the tool first.

Catch tank fitted but not connected up the hisses will do it during the week.

The car size getting there now....

Thanks people...

Looking good, just watch one of the catch tank pipes, bit of a kink near the joinig point and may close off under vacumn. If your getting running problems in the future check that first

Yes see what you mean
I think it's the pick as there's no kink when seen in the flesh so to speak...

Good stuff mate, have had problems myself like that. Was often a kink or just the piping being too thin.

Looks tidy though, good work and looking forward to seeing more pics

Thought I would do the rear brakes at the weekend.

The bolts on the back of the calliper were too hard to remove .

Got the top one off eventually with a socket but there was not enough room to put it on the bottom one and the spanner would not loosen it ...

Had to give up....

Anyone had this issue and if so how did you remove the bolt ?

A ring spanner and hammer may work to shock them loose, try tightening first, then loosening, the chances are that it's just the head of the bolt rusted to the caliper, once you break that rust it'll turn out pretty easily.
