So yesterday was a complete waste of time...
I wanted to fit my lucas callipers as I had decent pads for them and you can get aftermarket pads for them. he Bosch type 3s I can only get the standard mintex pads.
Lucass fitted, nipples were seized so out came the blow torch for the first time ever. Worked like a charm! Braided lines on!

then after all that the fondmetals wouldnt clear the callipers... So i ground down the front edge of the calipers. Drivers side was fine but the pads had more meat on them on the passenger side and it would have been silly to take more off. Fondmetals off and spare 16s on the front

Then I didnt have the flat bolts to fit the oregons so i drove on tapered to my grans and swapped bolts at 10pm before driving to london at a reasonable 70mph.
Next weekend Ill have to fit the original bosch type 3 callipers with new pads, send the fondmetals off to be refurbished, paint everything and get my head measured properly before epic work begins!
Also just found this track time selfie!
