About time for a little update since im now on page 9 and its been over 90 days :sad1:
Can't get pics up as im on my phone will add later, changes since christmas have been cleaning related as I've got myself a da polished and had one session that achieved 40% correction not bad for a first attempt but will give it another go once the weather brightens up.
I have also spent this weekend refurbing my brakes, I ended up chipping the old paint off with a knife! :surprised: this got me back to the original porsche and after the first coat they looking good, they will be sanded down once fully hardened and given a second coat in a week or two :smiley: only issue is the transfer pipes :sick:
RENNTAG:
Nice one Rich :happy2:
Look forward to seing it cme on a little further. Some god diagrams in the NQSBBK thread which may help with swapping the pipes over.
Richn83:

RENNTAG:

Have you spoken to Dave, see if he has any advise how to get them unscrewed.

So over the weekend I had another go at the calipers over the weekend, and with the right tool 10mm flare spanner I got one of the bridge pipe off without any issue or damage, the other didnt want to move and the bolts eventually ended fully rounded off (its very soft metal) in the end I had to hack saw the pipe and hammer a socket on to the bolt to finally get them loose and once the initial stiction was cracked they came out perfectly. :pomppomp:
Ive then given them a further coat of paint and they are looking great and are sat in the warm while the paint hardens. I have already got a pair of new bridge pipes on order, now just need some pads and anti rattle shims before fitting :smiley:
