Project 6' (Ph1 Cossack)

[gretsch-drummer]

Well Niall I gave it a go...... and I've managed to make a great set of brakes from the 2 sets I had (bought a 6' beam off Sam today which amazingly didn't have sheared bleed nipples etc).

Removed the pistons from the calipers to see which 2 were the best internally:


And picked the best pistons to use, mmmmmm smooooooth:


hmmmmmm fuuuuuucked:


I was able to reuse the piston seals as they looked brand new. Rebuilt the calipers using some brake fluid as lube, repacked the handbrake mechanism with grease and now I have a fully functioning set of rear calipers:


Also managed to salvage this load comp' spring unit from the beam I got off Sam aswell:


All in all........a very good and productive day.
