Brake problem
smokem:
may need pressure bleed call me if you think might help
77CVT:
Oh, and one other drama I had. The "experienced" large brake recondioner put a couple of the piston seals the wrong way up. Some had the metal face on the inside which of course rusted!
Idiots!
69 DIRTY RAT:
TIPPA I have a Brand new preportion valve that you can have (for the price I got it, I think I got it from Summit?) I'm still saving for my brakes so I wont need another til I buy the New Brakes, So your welcome to it if you think it will fit? It looks like it will fit anything??? Call me 0411535160 if you want it?
BUT I think its air gettin in your calipers, MR69er had a similar problem,he changed everything yet it still leaked. Found out one of the new calipers had a slight leak (sucked air in). It would be fine when it was bleed BUT after driving for a while it would get spongee!
or slightly warped rotors,combo????
TIPPA:
Thanks everyone for all your advice! Unfortunately Shayne's car has been off the road with me changing its timing belt, water pump and distributor and now has a cracked radiator (cars...;30) so getting her mobile again has taken up all my time ;30
So unfortunately won't have time to fix the vette for Fox ;37 We will come along just to say hi and check it out though.
However will try to have her ready for American Nats and being only next weekend i'll be having plenty of late nights....
Andy if you could bring your proportioning valve (or distribution block thingy) to Fox that would be a huge help and i'll bring some cash with me. Just let me know how much you want for it. Thanks mate!
:)
TIPPA:
77CVT, thanks for the hub/disc run-out advice. A few i've now spoken to agreed run-out can allow caliper pistons to suck in air. I'll be getting a dial indicator on tues so will see how far out they are.
