DJT88 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi all, just wanted to share some pictures of the brake refurb I finished this week. I think they look better than new right now. I had some trouble finding replacement o-rings for in-between the two halves of the caliper. Toyota doesn't supply these, but managed to get them through Chris Wilson (massive thanks again) I sandblasted the calipers and had them powder coated in black. The logo is a vinyl sticker. Also put new discs on as one was warped for sure. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/Photo%2022-07-14%2021%2007%2046.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/Photo%2022-07-14%2021%2013%2011.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2320%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2602%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2603%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2604%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2608%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2616%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2620%20%28Medium%29.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3472574/BrakesRevisie/IMG_2623%20%28Medium%29.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Those came out a treat! Will treat my UK specs to these someday soon, just finished putting the rears on this weekend. Did you take out the pistons to sandblast/powdercoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nice work. What's the torque setting for the bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT88 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Those came out a treat! Will treat my UK specs to these someday soon, just finished putting the rears on this weekend. Did you take out the pistons to sandblast/powdercoat? For sandblasting I had the caliper in one piece and the holes plugged (cilinders in but with the old rubbers as I was going to get rid of the rubbers anyways.) For Powdercoating I took everything out and split the calipers as the guy doing it said he would plug and mask everything necessary. Nice work. What's the torque setting for the bolts? Isn't specified, but 40 lb-ft (a good 50 Nm) will do, as advised to me by CW Mine are still in one piece and functional. Looks excellent mate, did you notice any increase in stopping power with all the new bits bolted up? I noticed a more direct respons when braking. It feels like it takes less effort. Also thanks for the compliments Edited October 17, 2014 by DJT88 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
