dohboy78 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 nice, did you buy the calipers painted or send them away for refurb? I know a man who knows a man. Bought off an ST225 Specialist Mechanic friend up north... He stripped and took to a powdercoater who I have used before. Returned to mechanic who rebuilt and sent to me!

Ben87 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Nice looking St you've got there mate loving the colour. Them calipers look like they've been painted well and a good choice on colour too. I've just done the St brake upgrade on mine and can't believe how much of a difference it makes. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben87 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 It's pretty easy doesn't take much to bleed because your only getting the fluid through the caliper. I had a mate round when I was doing mine so just got him to pump the brake pedal while I bled at the bleed nipple. You can get bleed kits off eBay that allows you to do it by yourself if you struggle to find someone at the time of fitting.

dohboy78 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Well, had a busy day today... Finally fitted the ASBOs and Powdercoated rear callipers. Really happy with how easy this project was. Only really a few bolts to undo... Take it all off. Bolt new back on and bleed. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
