Default Whole Brake System Rebuild..,





Though I have been rebuilding/refurbishing older cars for some 35 years as a amatuer without a machine shop set up I decided to have my brakes and the whole system rebuilt if for no other reason than greater safety. No past owners had ever done this and the whole system was shot. A few pictures of the rear differential out cleaned up with new rotors and calipers installed. Shocks had been replaced at some point and still ok but new bushings are being pressed in. Quite the project compared to others I have owned. Thought the others in the group new to the E Type like me might be interested in seeing some pictures of areas not usually seen by the casual driver.

Default good work!

While you are in that rear cage, if you havent already, drain , refill the diff and fit a magnetic drain plug.

Went to check up on the progress this morning. Rear differential drained, all new seals installed the unit then refilled. Thank you for your great input. It really helps us new folks to the E Type.
