Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Thanks again to Tony @westbay and Cliff down at the local garage…….

Cliffs welcome at the garage reads thus:



Anyway, Tony had searched a variety of options for the brakes and posted them up.

Cliff, being an oldskool mechanic suggested I at least try dismantle and then see if I could rebuild the front callipers that look pretty far gone..



The rear drums, and probably shoes and hardware will need a load of attention too.



So I still need to try disassemble the brake callipers and see if I can get away with seals and nothing else for about Ł12.00 or if the next level around Ł40.00 including pistons will work.



Random item search, I have almost a full set 12/16 of these wheel nuts, a few are damaged and scratched badly.

I really want to use them on the steel wheelz I plan to use, hoping they are going to do the job correctly.

These are them.



Question is……….


What were they originally fitted to, in case someone knows, or does anyone have between 4-16 to sell that are in decent condition??

I am planning on knocking all the studs that are still left in the hubs, out and replacing them with longer items as the spacers and adapters will need a bit more stud to safely mount the wheels.

PM please if you have or know anything.

Thanks.
