Hel brake lines and EBC red pads fitted

[Fernandez]

Just fitted some nice white Hel brake lines and some Ebc red stuff pads, bleed the system with some ATE super blue racing fluid, used that cos some of the lads on here said it was good stuff plus cos it's blue you can see it come through.

Bent one caliper pin tho, luckily Gordon Lamb Renault had a pair in stock.

Took her for a good long drive to bed them in and overall the pedal feel is much firmer and the brakes do feel noticably sharper, more responsive and no more squeeking, well chuffed with them. Thanks to everyone who advised on the fluid and thanks to leg-end for the quality pads.

wow is that a caliper pin????? those brake pads should be honoured frombeing on my car lmfao

 

[Fernandez]

Lol, they are honored and they are proper good, nice one.

I still have no idea how the pins can bend like that.

 

[Fernandez]

Exactly what I thought until it bent , got 3 out no problem at all but the last one wouldn't shift, totally seized, had to cut it off.

They just seem pretty tough, I suppose I'll find out if I end up with one seized
