These are the territory 328mm setup ... Just need to source some rotors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to source some rotors You going to get them rebuilt? Or am I the only sucker whos done that lol ...."my FG has 30,000kms and I needed to rebuild them" ... "the problem with buying wrecked calipers is you never know how long they have been sitting around, with old brake fluid slowly damaging the insides" etc etcOh and what's that Matt....you want to buy my RDA rotors for $100?

(with 700ish kms use since last machined) So they're new and have done 700km or have a lot of kms and had a skim 700km ago?I can get new ones from my contact for a very good price (ie: under trade) so unless they are very new, I'd have to pass ... Unless $50 will get rid of them? Then I'll use them for mockup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my OCD didn't like the look of T3 fronts and RDA rears lol If you can get under trade price then that's the way to go... (I paid like $180 or something IIRC); but if you're a fussy karnt like me, then just go T2 rears ($270ish? but I'm sure you have a hook up for them too ) yay updates!

I did notice loctite on them but didn't replace it but I did crank them tight. Ill have a stab at the rears sunday. So loctite the bolts you remove to release the caliper centre to remove the pads?

Then my OCD didn't like the look of T3 fronts and RDA rearsI have to take gumtree lowball mode off? Dammit lol. Any chance you could measure their thickness?Haha I'm not that bad with OCD.Currently have a 3K stall in my BTR, that beats a rotor mismatch on my OCD meter haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you work on brakes have loctite handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
