I'd do both if I were you.[/quote]Time to scrap this barsteward of a thing.

More tools I do not have. [/quote]


So it looks like I am way too committed to this thing.

Maybe I should be committed, or get on with it.

Just spent some more cash.

From the £49.50 per calliper, this is where that ended so far.

Brake lines and hardware will add to that of course.





I really dislike working with dirty parts, even if they are broken, non functional, or getting replaced.



As a bit of Zen searching last night when I realised that this thing has thrown me another curved ball, I thought wasting a bit of fresh petrol, maybe a liter in total, I would at least clean up the rear drums and their parts.



Result.



Next one.

Dry, no leaks, but it will have to be done while I do the other side.



And done.




I have decided to step away from the build for today, if I can get it right, and do the hedges and garden beds for the last time this season, hopefully.

Maybe cut the grass too.

Oh, and see Sally.

Nice day out.
