    Poor brakes / vented disc upgrade

    Ok Thanks for both of your advise. I don't fancy the grief or rebuilding so will go down the cheapo calliper route. Can easily replace them again in 5years time. And yes stainless loves reacting with steel in salt damp conditions...:-)

    Poor brakes / vented disc upgrade

    My pins holding the pads in are solid bars (approx. 8cm long) with split pin going through the ends. Sounds like I should invest in some calipers - does it matter which make? £40 ones ok? cheers

    Poor brakes / vented disc upgrade

    Thanks for your response, Sorry what is iirc? anyway, currently the forward brake pipe out of brake master drops down (on the right) and forward to a T where it splits to both front brakes. Again sorry what is a "lockheed long split pin type?" cheers

    Poor brakes / vented disc upgrade

    oh one other option is to but later axles front and rear (thus I can fit alloys with out spacers - which look great but cover the side of the car with mud!)

    Poor brakes / vented disc upgrade

    Hi Guys, I hope you can help! I have just rebuilt a defender 110 (1987) with single discs on the front and drums on the back. My issue is that the rears lock up first and so are working well. Fronts are not so good but will also lock up if I push really hard. Just put new pads on the...

    Ok thanks for your replies. So i need a new switch, even though the actual switch works, just its stopping in the wrong position.? I am not familliar with how these work, but was wondering if maybe it was a set up issue rather than faulty switch. Ie.e how does the switch know the position of...

    Galenising B pillar on 110

    A google search of T wash doesnt bring up much. i believe etch primers can get the same effect too... I will deafo wash down with soapy water though.

    Galenising B pillar on 110

    Hamsterberg... When you galv them how did you protect the door hinge bolt liners...? Also whats T wash? should i be washing all galv items (plan to do bulk head, cappings, rear wing upright/corners, and even considering doing the boot floor struts and battery boxes... thoughts?) cheers

    Galenising B pillar on 110

    ok thanks, even though there are plastic liners (i think they are plastic) in side the b pillar frame for the door hinge bolts? maybe i could put a bolt through them for the galv process to give some protection ... cheers
