I know a few have already seen my facebook posts but im gonna post here anyway. Its a great timeline of progress to have in one place.
Anyway, today i made a start on the brake system. I changed the brake master as its clear to me it leaked at some point as some of you are aware (found the telltale rust spot when i removed the fuel tank). The empty reservoir confirmed this. I went for the 50:50 one.
Next i turned my attention to the front brakes. First thing i did once i removed the wheel and assembly was change the discs. Next were the calipers. I decided i would have a go at rebuilding them myself. So now i have new seals, pistons, bleed screws with cover caps, pads and pins. I found it to be a fairly easy process. The first job ive done on the car where i expected it to be difficult but actually turned out simple. Who knew? Ive also changed the brake hoses whilst i was at it. Just the rear to do now.
Heres a before and after.
