kishan38 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Is there anyone in the corporate section that sells new brakes for a gen 6 GT? If not, does anyone know of any good sites where I can get some good brakes quite cheap? Kishan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Don't get me started about f*cking brakes today...!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Boy 1 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I had caliper troubles yesterday, Front off-side piston seized but all sorted now. Kishan, when you say "Brakes" do you mean discs or Calipers or both ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishan38 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I need both, my rear brakes have seized and corroded according to Kwik Fit and the fronts squeak no matter how much pressure I put on the brake pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kishan38 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Getting them checked out on Wednesday. Just going to go for some standard GT brakes supplied by the mechanic. Any ideas if it's possible to spray the discs? After chrome discs and possibly blue calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakyParts Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Why would you want to spray the discs? the pad contact area stays shiney and the rest you can just paint with hammerite whatever colour you like. You can do the same with the calipers, just clean them up and paint them. No more than a mornings work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually want to be able to use the discs for stopping, or just for looking at your reflection in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if it was something I could do myself. I wouldn't know where to start with getting the discs off, I've never done anything like that lol. chrome discs????

InsolentMinx Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 the disc face would get worn away by the brake pads. i guess the hub could be chromed... but that is usually one of the fastest parts to rust, so i doubt it would last too long...
