Much awaited wheel cylinders arrived. One guess what size heads on the bleed screws I obtained.

Here’s a curiosity
The hand brake cable to backing plate mounts are marked L & R. Well some are. No obvious difference but oh well guess I’ll reassemble accordingly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rears on, fronts assembled. 
The brake guys told me they use kopr kote on the adjuster threads and a smear around the inside of the adjuster lid. Just be sparing with it and don’t let it near the pistons.

Passenger side rear completed today. Next job hook up the handbrake cable. I have a replacement for the pull handle which is broken. Threw some elcheapo black enamel on it this evening. The front cable is good but the adjuster threaded rod is bent slightly and won’t turn. It will all have to come out. Fun fun fun. Waiting for paint to dry on front backing plates before I do the front brakes.

Can’t believe the $1 finish on the handbrake bracket:
$1.99 on special at supercheap

Bloody hell, Clay, does that mean your brakes might fail? 
Should be right, mate. It’s inside the car.

Looks like you’re having fun Clay 
Did you work out why the Red was running hot before the starter gave up?
