Brake calipers
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 8:15 pm
I pulled the whole ft brake setup out of the RE5 today and did a complete overhaul of the system. It will be new caliper seal/ piston kits which are already in, some new brake hoses and some minor repainting to bring it back to pristine condition.
These calipers considering their age are in nearly perfect condition paintwise, theres no flaking or bubbling of the black.
On the carriers theres a few scratches from something the disk dragged onto it and some missing around the allen bolt heads.
Theres nothing that a little touch up with a pencil brush and some semi flat black cant cure to hide the aluminum underneath.
The master cylinder has been gutted and totally cleaned out, plus it will have to be repainted since the anodizing has turned the usual pink.
I thought i'd post these few pics since its been a while front brakes have been a thread discussion.
