mickappy Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 seems all the pics on this thread have gone:-( must be something to do with photobucket.. will try fix it later... another upgrade added i had chance to purchace some 4 pot hi spec 325 mm front brakes.. reading the website it said will not fit under anything but 17" wheels... i have 16s on my 400:-( bought them anyway... 1st of they came with the later vauxhall bracket which will not fit the manta hub. so we machined the right bracket up from the correct grade alloy.. next was to machine the discs to accept the manta hub with correct spacer.. all fits perfect... and the wheel clear the calipers by about 10mm:-) all bled up eith 5.1 brake fluid.. just need the rain to go and i can test them out.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

611 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hey Mick What brake fluid are you using? been trying to work out best stuff to use on mine. There 4 pot wilwood's on the front and there seems to be different ideas as to which fluid to use? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickappy Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 5.1 as advised by hi spec, not been out in it yet so can not comment on how good they are.. praying for dry weather this weekend:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickappy Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 dry weather came:) brakes are all fine with the new hi spec jobbies. I think I will be fitting a remote servo over the winter tho, for those who don't know, I had a call from total Vauxhall wanting to feature my car.. I put 1 finished pic on their facebook page and it got lots of love:) 4 hour photo shoot(thought it would be 10 mins in a car park) should be out in july... the pics are awesome.... buy it :D also just spent 4 hours fixing this thread.. all the pics disappeared:(.. fixed now tho.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey mick Thanks for the advise. I will give it a go when i get round to fitting the front calipers. That's why i setup a blog for all the car stuff as there does seem to be a problem with pic's going missing :-) Nice one on the Total Vauxhall. I did have the offer of a photo shoot when mine was finished, but they have probably given up waiting on me :-) i will make sure i look out for a copy.
