Sorry Moderators - should this be in the Brakes tech section rather than general discussions? if so apologies and feel free to move it.
So, with the lockdown still going and my discovery of the somewhat ineffiecient handbrake on the running Plus 2
I thought I’d refresh the mechanism. Nice and simple job, jack up one side of the car, wheel off and have a little dismantle, clean up the parts reassemble with some new bits and some original parts and some copperslip grease and Bobs your uncle.
So I ordered new tie rods, nuts and clips, new handbrake tie end bushes and a few other odds and sods - unfortunately SJS din’t have the clevis pins but hey I thought, it’ll be fine at worst a bit of a clean up.
And I thought while I was at it I’d give the lower wishbones and the shock tube a coat of paint as they were a bit rusty. What could possibly go wrong… - some pictures to follow
