The brake or handbrake? Brake pads are posi quiet from the us. The handbrake are from ward engineering. Want an exact measurement!

I read the recent post about calibrating the emergency brake. I think I'll just drive for a few miles with the handbrake slightly tugged to get that perfect alignment... Hahaha

That would be 10mm for you Sir. If not 11mm to be exact.

Tic Toc, time is working on getting her ready.

Today I mounted rears springs, SPAX dampers, disc brakes that were sand blasted and groved down a bit for the fresh pads.

So I got my share of history today. So surprises there as the MAROON sticker on my rear fascia was a dead give away
Image

Funny is when I contacted by mail the "Delorean Museum" asking if they would have any leads on the connection with Maroon, they claimed they had another company on file.
Tricking me into buying the certificate? :lol:

On Mark's crucial comment I went on and exchanged my SS bolts with 10.9 steel bolts for the radius arms support PLUS an extra nut in case the frame's nuts give away....
Better "Mark" than sorry! :)
Image

On to mounting the new engine supports
Image

Poly Bushings & sway bar installed
Image


Of course both front lower arms are in too...
Image
RH complete set and LH I am missing a spring support.

Mounted the wheels and I must bluntly express my self in GREEK!!! KAVLA!!!! Sorry.... No other international word fist that description...
Image

Image

Finally mounted the AC radiator onto the engine cooling radiator with Stainless steel screws and bolts!
