    Looking to upgrade brakes on the T/A

    3/16 brake pipe has arrived. If it's wrong I'll order more, this can be used on the Camaro. You see the pipes are new from the master cylinder to the line lock and the bias valve. From there one goes through a splitter to front brakes, Via the braided pipes. Would be nice to renew all that.

    Many things I do tend to do have some logical explaination behind it. However sometimes I do totally irrational things. Got cofirmaiton of the order, they have received the funds and will be starting on the custom colour powder coat today.

    Funny you should say that. I'm going to renew the metal lines on the TA. Ordered 3/16th Cupro Nickel Kunifer Brake Pipe tonight. This will use my new tool. I can practise on mine before doing the camaro. My pipes went too bad, but rather fit all new. Only the master cylinder isn't changing in...

    Yeah when you put it like that. I could buy a car for the amount I'm putting into the car and not increasing the value.

    What have you done to your vehicle today?

    You have changed a lot of things on that Duster now, cant be many more parts that need changing. Hopefully should be nothing to do for a few years now?

    Looking to upgrade brakes on the T/A

    The brakes on the TA does have a high grade of pads, new drilled and slotted rotors, braided flexible lines. However the caliper is the same as origin. A single piston part. With all these other upgrades, and also for looks. I now have 18 inch alloys, and the discs looks smaller. I have some...
