AALAWS Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 yeah pretty happy with it......just need to learn how to fold and weld in new steel........or win lotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piazzanoob Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 With looking at the photo of the caliper it appears that it has rust under the seal but the rust on the top ridge isnt a huge issue as it only holds the moisture boot best bet would be to get it bead blasted then see how bad the pitting is on the metal but would most likely be fine i would say that the caliper piston has rust on it so would require a new one but you need a caliper rebuild kit anyway. would also recomend doing the rebuild yourself as saves abit $$ plus they are not hard to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo - thanks for the input! Yeah i'll be dropping them off to be bead blasted tomorrow to get rid of that remaining rust. The pistons have come up mint with a gentle wire wheel so happy with that. Re: the rebuild kit.....I have the toyota one, but stumbled onto a european outfit that reconditions calipers, and they look like a big operation. http://www.budweg.com/product/details/341467?carId=23001 They have capped off the missing part but only sell their bits in bulk units so I'm on the charm offensive to see if I can pull a sneaky delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AALAWS Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 so the brake place in Hamilton refused the job.......a) no tool to remove the rear handbrake bracket and after telling me on the phone they'd blast them for me, they said not unless they do the whole job. Anyone know where I can simply get a little bit of rust removed around the top of the moisture seal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a press up at your place? I'll definitely be needing a hand to put in all the bearings and balljoints and gaskets etc when it all gets assembled.....

Otodat Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Yep I have a little press, and access to a bigger one if need be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otodat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Getting quite a stockpile of bits there Alasdair , for paint on springs etc I have just used truck chassis paint in the past and found it ok but might be a bit rough for what your going for. People seem to recommend por15 for under carriage bits. If your ever up in Hamilton be worth asking at autolink what they recommend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 hey sorry i cut your lunch on that shell thought i maybe saving it from a drifter etc, having a look at yours it doesn't look bad at all, the shell i have would still need some work. am keen to see your one sometime, do they make new bumpers for these? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AALAWS Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 I've seen fibreglass bumpers are available.....there's a slowly increasing amount of aftermarket parts for these comping at our Asia at the mo so there could possibly be something out there....
