Snowdrop in norfolk (minor restoration)

[colreco73]

£69 with your old one ,but on ebay there is a place doing them for £53.17 and when you send them your old one they refund you £15. got both off them origionally but the didnt have the offside caliper so had to get it from anglia triumph .would have got them from the club but no sign of my membership coming thruogh yet lol

[Sprint East]

So you decided against the brake upgrade then?

[colreco73]

well was advised by anglian triumph to put standard brake discs and just put the braided metal pipes instead of rubber flexis and use the green pads .and that would be a suffecient upgrade

I have that set up on my Sprint and it's fine for that!!

Sounds like the sensible way forward without faffing too much. Not that brake upgrades are a faff, but you get my drift

[colreco73]

ok so iv now started my resto at last stripped out the drivers side wheel arch ready to tackle the removal of the black underseal tommorow .gona bin the shocks and springs for new ones



notice the top ball joint has a grease nipple on it must be the orig as other side hasnt get one wonder if i can get kits to recon them as replacements are damn expensive

[Purplebargeken]

Have you got the new one's then?

[Purplebargeken]

Yes it is and yes you should. Try Mick Dolphin. Shame it isn't the same as the 1300FWD as I have a good few of those. I would take the opportunity to fit polybushes to the subframe whilst you are there and also to the steering rack.

I have a brand new set of front shocks and 1" lowered springs for the TC. Yours for what I paid for them. Hmm, not sure whatthat was. They are R*mmers items. They were bought for Lemondrop but I forgot about them

[colreco73]

not yet .gonna wait till everything is prepared till i gettem

[Purplebargeken]

Read the post again mate. I edited it.

[colreco73]

wow m8 ty keepem for me il pm you when i needem .got alot of work ahead of me before i needem :]

[Purplebargeken]

Will put them aside for you mate. Next time I pop over to Norwich I will detour for you (then I can see SD too ). U ok to go with the Rimmer price? At least there won't be postage to pay

[colreco73]

yeah no probs m8 just tell me in advance when you will be over and il put the kettle on :]

[colreco73]

They'll fit if they're listed for the 1500, but Greenstuff aren't very good and they do cost about three times as much as new/old stock genuine Ferodo ones which work and won't fall apart before they wear out.
Far wiser move would be to wait for some suitable Ferodo on eBay, the older the better - as long as they've not been kept in a damp place, the box will tell you that - and preferably with asbestos.
