EX BG caddy VR6 3.2

[Sean1066]

Rear handbrake calipers stripped, painted and refurbished with new pistons and rubber seals.






New disc are also ready


Certainly a little bit bigger than the original ones.

Now just wait for the rear axle to come back from powdered coating and in can all be fitted

Nice one mate. That’s going to look epic when it’s all on the van.

I’m hoping so buddy.
The one good thing is it will all be new or refurbished on the rear axle.

[the swan fiend]

Yeah it’ll be one less thing to think about.

I’m gonna have to repaint my callipers this year. I’m going to send them away to be powder coated though. Means having the van off the road which is a bit of a pain.

I did think about having mine powder coated until they told me the price. Mind you I’m glad I did it myself as I have learned how to do something else.

[the swan fiend]

It’s another skill in your toolbox mate.

Got my rear axle and my brake brackets (made by me) back from powder coating yesterday. So today I test fitted the brakes and trimmed the bolts to size as some of them were to long. I think it all turned out pretty well. Looking forward to finally getting them on the caddy

















I also had to clean out the bolt holes for the anti roll bar bracket

Thanks Peter much appreciated.
Just got to wait for a couple of bits to arrive and I can get it all fitted to the caddy

[the swan fiend]

It’ll look amazing when fitted mate. As far as I know, you’re only the 2nd person to do it.

Amazing work !
Brilliant

[Sean1066]

Thank you petrev it’s taken time but well worth it

That’s decent set of brakes there mate

And there is nothing wrong with wet painted callipers, many well known brands comes new wet painted instead of powder coating, todays paints handle heat much better and you can get nice effects going wet

I have removed my R32 calipers and disc.


I have replaced them with these ones.


New 350mm disc.
New braided brake lines




And the Brembo 18z that I have refurbished.








Need to clean them wheels before they go back on again

Rears will be next with a lot of new parts

They look great mate, any issues with wheel clearance?
