brake refurb needed on p1
 
Could see the rear brakes where in a state on back of p1 but after taking wheel off the piston was also stuck out solid as well and seals split on it(it passed an mot last week????),removed the other side today well after finding the locking wheel nut was obviously over tightened when the wheels were refurbed.(that caliper was operating fine)

but the locking wheel nut is fubared.

so the rear calipers have been sent off to godspeed to be sorted and new godspeed discs and pads for front and back have been bought.

Just hope the front calipers are fine when they come off????

so gives me time to clean everything up underneath and a nice coat of smooth hammerite to get it looking as clean as the rest of the car

I've got the McGard ones on my classic, they seem ok and match the standard chrome wheel nuts.

I had those on mine and the locking wheel socket broke forcing me to get all four taken off. Having said that they were at least 5 years old
