280 FHC brakes

[brian c]

Hi, From what i've read i take it this brake set up on my 280 fhc is not original spec, ie vented disc's, ally 4 pot calipers ? Sorry for picture quality.

Not standard but should be an improvement over the originals.

Thats what i thought, i bought the car a couple of months ago as a project, stuck it in the garage and finaly pulled it out today. It needed a new tyre, so when i took off the wheel i saw the calipers, disc's,greenstuff pads,braided hose's not to mention the new AVO shocks i thought, got most of my money back already, cant wait to look at the rear set up. Also the car had'nt run for 2 years but it started no problem today and sounded really good. There is a couple of electrical problems but hey its a TVR(only one headlight pops up)

They look like Granada vented discs, probably in good nick once you've sandblasted the rust off.

How'd you go about bleeding these calipers, there's 3 bleed nipple's on each one.

I'd say start with the lowest and work your way up!
