Thanks, the discs are not very old andxare not warped. The pad retraction happens even stationary. I can press the brake pedal a couple of times and its fine. When I then look at tha pads there's already a gap

I am suffering from a long brake pedal, which is fine after the first application each time. When off the brakes there is slight play in the front pads, and i can see a small gap, .010" maybe, on each pad. The Dunlop cylinder assemblies are about 4 years old, 2000 miles at most, new fluid and the pa...

Yes I've been able to pack the tags out to firm up, but that shouldn't be the solution!

I am replacing the headlights on my 68 1.5. The original fitment was the 75 / 60w sealed beam units. These were replaced early in its life with the superb Cibie Biodes, but these have now faded in the reflector division, so I've been trying to find replacement H4 units. The problem is that the ones ...

Well that has cleared up my confusion, thank you all for your advice.

So presumably you fitted them to the roll bar-to-link position,small head faci g out. Can you see the reason for them?

As I mentioned in my original post, these are not the radius arm bolts.
A) those are 1/2 unf
B) they are already fitted
Rarb drop links makes sense, I'll bolt it on and see if all then becomes clear.

Thanks for all your thoughts.

Thanks, that would make sense because thats all I've got left to fit, but I dont understand the need for special bolts there, cant see a hex recess or anything.

Hi, I've done a stupid thing, rebuilding my rear subframe to fit new brakes etc. Ive managed to end up with 2 special bolts which I cant find a home for! They are 7/16 unf, with nuts and 2 washers each, 2 1/2" long with a 9/16 hex head. They are not the special bolts for the radius arms, those are 1...

Not really relevant to LED but a general headlight query. My 68 car ( no glass covers) was supplied with Lucas sealed beam units. My father who owned the car before me swapped for Cibie Biodes, which are great but are losing their sparkle. I decided to replace them with H4 units. I bought a pair of ...

I have read the posts on here as I was looking for a battery for my '68 car, and thought I would offer my up to date info, which really just backs up what has gone before. I managed to get in touch with John Burton, via the JDC magazine contact info. He is still able to supply, from stock, a battery...
