monday -
took the 280mm brakes off the car as they have now been sold, everything was sweet taking them off bar the fact i cant get the braided hoses out for the life of me from the caliper, so disconnected at the rigid pipe end and ill just have to get new std front brake pipes for the time being as thats all funds will allow
so fitted the brakes on the passenger side, everything was hunky dory, about 15 minutes later and jobs a good un
just need to fit flexi pipe (ordered from gsf)
get round to the drivers side, go to mount the carrier and realise that the mountin holes on the wheel bearing housing have been dethreaded... the housing came part of my 280mm kit and the bracket mounts on the opposite side, negating the need for thread...
BUT they could have f**king left it there, god damn mofos...
would have put the 280mm kit back on but id already disconnected the flexi pipes and didnt fancy bleeding the brakes just to have to do it in 2 days again!!!
so thats where we end today, a brakeless drivers hub...
thursday
well after i posted that i saw a glimmer of sun appear so i shot out to do some work on the car
changed the lower rad hose for a new GSF, note to self, samcos are fully gay dont ever buy them again, so much shorter than the GSF jobbie, no wonder it leaked
gsf price like 2.50 bargaaaaaain
had to tighten up a few of the brake union connections that were going into the t-pieces as they were leaking slighty and fitted a new throttle cable
drivers side front - now stripped the hub and wheel bearing housing off the car in preparation for a replacement that actually has threaded holes for teh brake carriers... stupid brake factory who gave me the last hubs are complete gayors
so its all looking a bit sparce haha
replacement wheel bearing housing(with hub and wheel bearing) is on route, i was hoping it would be here today, but i thought i might as well get this job out the way so when it arrives i can build it up in the house and just go outside and bolt everything up in not very long at all...
wooooooop, bit of time not doing uni work is time well spent... now back to the slog
