wicchris Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 My first up date is the breaks i have got hold of a 280mm wilwood set up. I bought these fairly cheap. I have test fitted them, striped and cleaned them then painted and used all new nipples and braided flexi brake hoses. I went to fit these one night after work and one of the 8 nipples has pulled out so i am in the process of waiting for a m10x1 tap to try and make a new thread. but here are a few pics from thr last 3 weekstest fitAn hour on the wheelDid some one say green All built upThe finished product, well nearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
