Brake Upgrades
Alloy Drums & Rebuilding
Rears
I was planning on doing a detailed
write-up of how I rebuilt my brakes but why re-invent the wheel.
Buckeye Triumphs has decided to put all of their terrific
technical articles back on line and they had a better brake
section then I could ever hope to do. I do, of course, have some
pictures to clarify a few steps of the process.
The only disappointment I had with
this project was with the POR-15 Caliper paint. I've had
terrific results with their other products but the yellow paint
just didn't give me the coverage that I was hoping for. It took
me 5 coats to get the yellow to cover most of the silver base
coat they have you put on first and it still shows through a
little on raised edges. I finally decided that once the alloys
are back on the car, no one will probably even notice.
