Hey y'all

[rivalrx]

I've been looking on here a bit as I have me a soft spot for the ol fb. Good to see so many getting the treatment they deserve.

I have a 618 coupe in nz waiting for me so I'm on the engine hunt here in the uk.

Cheers

Hey! All good with me. Just chasing some FC brakes and maybe another donk to take home and wack in the hack. I'm loving your thread btw.

The original ones were stuffed excuse the kind of pun....

Clint fabbed the base plates wheels on holiday in nz and the .....£50 seats....yes, £50 recaro fishnets!! Not the tidiest but no rips.

They really suit the old school rx s.

Do they have to be FC brakes? I've got a spare set of FD four-pots that need new seals, I think they may be more or less the same except cosmetically. The FD ones don't have the cooling fins of the FC calipers. Got some pretty goosed discs that are straight (runout) but badly rust pitted. They may be able to survive a skim by some clever machinist. Or Johnny, lol

Hey Nik,

Not too sure re the fd? I need to have me a poke about on the interweb as I can't see them not being suitable, just tend to see more FC conversions. Might have to holla am ma boyyyy tool. He has been there and done that. Will take my spy micro camera and take 80s like snaps when we isn't looking.

I will get back to you mate.

And Tim...hey boss

Well, they're going nowhere, dude. I forgot I even had them, been trying to clear the garage out and found them in a Budweiser box. Weird, I don't even drink the muck . IIRC it was MR TOOL who insisted that FC and FD calipers were the same mount spacing and offset, so maybe he'll be along to confirm or deny at some point

I'm looking into this now on dingo rota. Standby caller.

What a rotter I am...saying hi on a fb site after I sold mine and having a introduce yourself thread turn into a technical thread. Classic.
