Yo guys !
I opened this thread because its easy to show some things that i rebuild.
I cant post that in post a pic of ur car/motor topic.
If im working om something i love to make pictures from begin to end..
A few days ago i saw a front brake disc conversion kit on the internet for my mini.
It need a rebuild because it wasnt used for 15 years, but the set was from a 1970 mini so more than 40 years old !
I wanted the conversion kit , so i picked it up for 200 euro.
First things what i see is dirt oil and dirt, thats something what i dont like dirt !
Sow first cleaned everything with diesel, to make sure what i must rebuild.
After checking :

New discs
New pads
