I've decided I need to do what Jack does and report progress. This will keep me moving forward every day (mostly /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif ) Tonight I took my calipers apart and they are currently soaking in solvent. As an added bonus I got to use my new air wrench for the very first time - hurray. I used the article in Classic Motorsports as a reference. (The one on the Midget restoration - caliper rebuild) Here are my questions
1. They honed the cylinders. Is this necessary? If it is, what should I use? (The cylinders look fine)
2. They painted the calipers after they were reconstructed. Does this make sense? Do you mask the cylinders?
3. What do you use to lubricate the parts as they go together? I forget what they used.
4. Grease nipples. These are standard right? I can get them at my parts store?
I'm sure I'll have more questions
TIA
