More of the mundane stuff while I restore the front brakes and rebuild the suspension. All of this has to be done ahead of the
more exciting Day II parts as the car needs to become a roller again sometime before year end. Here are some more pics for those who like the original stuff being re-used, and a couple neat paint daub pics on the front calipers. Also seen here is a restamped build date for one of the calipers. I have not seen them restamped before but I'm sure it happened when parts sat around.
The one caliper was cast in July and assembly stamped 227, but must have sat around for months before being picked up for use since it was restamped 049 atop the 227. The other caliper was stamped 32 for an assembly date and was cast 361. Now that all of the rust has been removed, time to paint them up, install new o-rings & seals and lightly face/machine the rotors. All factory brakes for this car and no repro parts being used other than the soft lines.
Ready for a light surfacing.
Cleaned up in Evapo-rust
Dust shields and caliper brackets are now going out for plating.
This caliper had an nice daub or orange paint and both dust caps on the bleeders.
It was stamped 32 for an assembly code and was cast 361st day
This one was cast 207 and must have sat deep in the pile as it wasn't used until February...
It was first stamped 227 as it appears, and was then restamped 049 by the looks of its assembly stamp?
