JEs old brakes given a 2nd chance in life :)

Looking good, which paint did you use?

 

[maxman]

Looks like you have done a first class job.
It might be worth buying some latex mechanics gloves as them hands will take some cleaning.

 

[Smartbear]

Got to do this to our z3 brakes to tidy them up, looks loads better
Your going to have to get those hands acid dipped & shot blasted to clean them up Jonny

Invest in some swarfega johnny :lol:

Lovely job. Need to do mine, but been putting it off as I want 325mm discs and calipers.

 

[Nictrix]

Calipers look great but I dont think you should have sprayed the disc surface.

Thanks again jonny! Can't wait to get these fitted, there going to look awesome

granulated sugar + Fairy liquid = homemade swarfega

Great job on the calipers...now can I be arsed to take mine apart or just hamerite them while on the car.....

Jonny, petroleum jelly can break down some rubbers, not a good idea to use this.

This.

Babies' bottoms and rubber seals are two very different things.

I'm afraid the advice is sound Jonny - same reason Vaseline should not be used as a lubricant with condoms :wink:

Clean it off - thoroughly - and use something else if you really need to

Not sure about paint on the discs either, but you've done a cracking job overall, the calipers look ace.

Well done for the refurb JE - did those discs have the Mtec coating? I'm getting a set soon but won't pay the extra if they did and looked like that!

But great for stopping the lips getting chapped.

for the record, all parts arrived, very happy with them,seals were all clean and discs were then masked up over the contact area and sprayed silver and have all been fitted perfectly

now bedded in and look and work fine so there was absolutely no harm done and a brilliant job by Jonny

will update with pics once all cleaned up
