OK, So here is a genuine request.

Aimed at people who know how to fix stuff on cars.

Blipi has some lovely Wilwood brakes which need to be fitted to save me from crashing and before I do the 'Ring.

I also have a rattle coming from my exhaust bracket (I think) Need help in sorting it.

The oil drinking habit will probably have to go to the garage but being with only 1 car at the mo I don't want her off the road. Any tips would be appreciated.

Anyone able and willing to help over a weekend?

Cheers all!

They supposed to be a like-for-like replacement Stefi or likely to involve spacing and stuff? Is it just calipers or rotors too? No biggie if just a bolt-on

Just checking whether I need to bring my own thats all, not sure what the prob is until we get into it of course but on a Sun we are going to be buggered. Can you pop out today and get some cheap stuff just in case we need to do a temp repair, to keep you going as it were.

Vasaline.

Heat shrink, its a tube you slip over wire, like a straw. Once heated it shrinks and seals wires together. (car / chav / halfrauds type place should have it).


sorry about pics ,,,i was bored yesterday evening
