Re: Any ideas re CSP rear brake disc problems ?

Hi all Sun came out recently and I am glad to say I had the car ready for it !! After taking the front calipers off and really getting a good look at them - they seemed to be sitting at a 0.9mm angle off centre and that was causing the pads to wear very oddly. So everything is now straightened up wi...

Re: 356 engine oil pick up pipe

Hi Paul

Hope you are well ?

I would call PRS as they have shelves of parts so I would think they have one available

All the best

Re: Any ideas re CSP rear brake disc problems ?

Hi Karl Thanks for the quick response to my DM that explains what we were discussing about the front end with disc conversions and spindles On the rear discs, I am in touch with PRS about bearings, but I did also see a castle nut washer / spacer which might help give the castle nut more thread to be...

Re: Any ideas re CSP rear brake disc problems ?

I had a look and in the spindles conversation Hashman said I need to order the 356B later bearings for the rear discs as those supplied seem to be pre A bearings

This could be the problem - I will message him and see if he has any more information !

Thanks

Re: Any ideas re CSP rear brake disc problems ?

Hi Thanks that does ring a bell that someone mentioned using a certain bearing - I will investigate as I think it was during a conversation re the EMPI front spindles ??? Yes I am sure we used the shim and spacer, but it sounds like I have to open it up to double check !! If the space was missing th...

Any ideas re CSP rear brake disc problems ?

Hi I have been working away installing the CSP brake discs I treated myself to earlier in the year. The fronts seem to be ok but seem a little noisy, I am hoping this is some sort of bedding in noise ? My main problem is that I was getting quite a lot of noise from the rear - screeching and what sou...

Re: New Spindles

Ok great Will do !

I have had a look into this further and it would seem that all EMPI distributors should be able to supply the spindles.

We have several in the UK - so the next step would be to ask one of them how much that charge !!

All the best

Re: Bouncy front end !

Cheers Neil

So hard on the front and medium on the rear?

Mike - does that sound about right?!

The shocks have only just gone off, so I have a bit of time before they go back on!

Thanks
