Bens car ran pretty good all weekend and sounded strong from the brake pedal going to the floor!! Gave him a hand and bled some air out and he had a pedal again!

Did u check to see if the beam is straight before you make a drastic cut it may be out of shape

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

OK, so now I understand what a pie cut is !!!

With an 8mm pie cut like that... is that based on running no caster shims after the cut ?

Get German ones and you need a reamer or go to someone that has one.

Nice looking work there Ben.... And as Matt said.... German is the only way to go.... I use Bilsten ones everytime.... The bronze is a beautiful quality as are all the other parts in the kits... The one thing I often use from the old OG sets are the the fibre washer and pressed cap spacer (for lack of the correct name!)... Have found the kit supplied ones to be of an inferior quality.

Oh ok.... I have been thinking about building proper staging brake into my car (instead of using the hand brake), but was unsure how to plumb it all in... Might have to have a real close look at your car next month! 😁
