Finally fitted my 308mm brakes

by bluejuz » Mon Nov 18, 2013 9:42 pm

I've had these sitting in the garage for over a year now & after reading James_mould's post I had to pull my finger out & get them fitted.

As they were...

And now...

The discs are from MTEC with Mintex pads.
I'm very happy with them but would have liked them to look even bigger.

The only problem was putting the spring clips back on I scratched my freshly painted calipers. Pain in the arse them clips. I'll have to touch them up one day.

Sorry about the size of the pics. I've been trying to crop them and make them smaller for the last half hour but photobucket doesn't seem to be playing ball on my ipad.

My calibra to-do-list is finally shrinking and not growing.
Sorted a fair few little niggles lately.
Just a few cosmetic fixes to sort now. Hopefully in the spring.
Then it just may be respectable enough to bring along to a show
