Chris Williams' Journal

The other one is ready to go. I'm just having a break from cleaning up my work space.

As mentioned at the bottom of the previous entry. The emergency brake caliper didn't fit into the cut-out for it so some judicious work with my battery angle grinder sorted that issue.
Here are some pictures of the calipers installed. No pads yet I'm about to contact Heritage in Sydney and get them to send me some up. The kit uses Triumph Spitfire front pads '67 to '80.
Shouldn't be an issue.



This ones just sitting there to make sure it fits. It'll have to come off to fit the hub and rotor.

The octagonal nut which retains the hub bearing needs to be torqued to 160-180ftlbs. In reality a good rattle with my battery impact driver gives me close to this - I checked it with the torque wrench and it was almost spot on.

Here's a pic of the other side with the hub, Rotor and Emergency brake caliper installed.



Stay tuned the Fiesta calipers are next. Hmm.
