I’ve not had any issues with YRM bits, they’ve always been great.
What do you mean about the double skin bit? The YRM ones are the outer only. The hinges also need saving from the original panels, unless they’ve started making them separately now.
That was on the late brake show on YouTube recently. Part of a collection of range rovers auctioned off. Looks like it’s had a bloody good polish and some recommissioning.
I was thinking if you were struggling for length another set of jaws could be acquired and machined to reduce the length. If you can't easily get the 4 jaw on by itself.
Best thing I've found, is to rotate the picture in some way on your device (orientation not important) then save it. Then correct the orientation and reupload. Its something to do with the orientation info not getting transferred I think. I have the same issue sometimes even though the photos show correctly on my iphone/ipad/icloud.
Ha! That's brilliant. I have to say after a previous mention of your rough location on the forum it didn't take long to find the stash of RR and RRS on google maps
You also get sliding calipers flexing. Chatting with David at Llama yonks back he was talking about a D2 based, RRC bodied, comp safari car. That was full braided lines end to end and couldn't get a decent feeling pedal until they worked out it was the calipers flexing when they hit the brakes. Swapped out for fixed and the pedal was all good.
I’d have to echo that…. Yes I’ve worked on the odd sticky piston etc on fixed, but by far had more issues with sliding calipers.
But how often the more powerful versions IE bigger brakes mean they go over to fixed.
One pile of old school lathe tooling saved from impending doom, one strange dodgy looking supermarket carpark swapsies and I have a new office ornament
hint: it’s not the Tim of soup
IMO It's got to be cost.... My JCW daily driver's got 4 pot Brembos on the front.... and sliding calipers on the rear. Drop down to the Cooper S and it's sliding calipers all round.
