I'm late on this thread, but I just spent an awful day and a half rebuilding brake calipers. I've done this on a regular basis since I started racing, so I do have some experience. I've always found

Yes, you're darned right. The last two times I overhauled calipers I had exactly the same problem. I'm convinced that something changed -- the mold, the compound, something. Fortunately I was doing t

I think that we can generalize and say that most all the parts available these days off the shelf suck. I'm replacing the clutch in my wife's daily driver TR6 because the new throwout bearing carrier

Having worked on British cars for over 30 years, I still have some with the original TOB carriers. For a new one to wear quickly would lead me to think some one road the clutch pedal. I would not say

One unlikely but feasible (I've done it) possibility is that the master cylinder was replaced with one that has a built in residual pressure valve. Wilwoods come this way. You have to remove the PV t

It seems that a lot of you are not using rubbers. You know what the Surgeon General says about that!

It would be really cool to have some company duplicate the aluminum Girlings that I have on Peyote (I think they were actually manufactured by AP under Girling license), and at the same time upgrade

Are yours Beck-Arnley? I think I bought 2 sets of the Beck-Arnley kits a couple years ago. The first one installed had the melting problem, so I saved the other kit as a back up. I believe that the r

Sorry if I have used the wrong words. I mean the rubber around the piston of the front brakes of a TR4.
