[Roadsters] Brake Problem

[hrhaslett]

Definitely measure the rotor thickness, likely they need replacing. Not sure the spec on them. Anyone know?Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Worn out front pads or worn down rotors can cause the fronts to not work. Pads are the cheapest but will also mask other problems if the real problem isn’t the pads  Peace,PatPat Horne We support Habitat for HumanityOn Jul 11, 2020, at 8:18 PM, dave via Datsun-roadsters <datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net> wrote:<!--

-->Some had advised me to find a gravel road and see what I could discover. Honestly there really are no gravel roads around here. I tried today pumping the pedal.  No difference But then I got it up to 40+, took it out of gear and stomped the brake pedal with everything I had. The right rear pretty much stopped.  Did it again, and both rear wheels left some rubber. Clearly, as I had suspected, I have no front brakes.  But when I bleed the fluid flows on all four corners. So where is the best place to have the front rotors rebuilt???________________________________________datsun-roadsters at autox.team.netDonate: http://www.team.net/donate.htmlArchive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/datsun-roadsters http://autox.team.net/archiveUnsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/datsun-roadsters/patintexas@icloud.com
