Re: Rear handbrake/emergency brake shoes .....

I was gonna replace mine but when I saw the cost I put the old ones back on. Mine weren't too worn and as they are only for the handbrake I reused them. You can get the old ones relined for about £75 if they are not reusable. Rob I could be wrong but I think early ones are 32mm wide and later ones ...

Turbo tie rods are a good sensible upgrade.

Turbo trackrods onto early rack setup Questions

Got everything off under my 912 and the trackrod ends and the rubber buffers that screw into the rack are all shot , would it be better to replace the rods and buffers with a later turbo trackrod setup , so just rods boots and ends . Any pointers greatly appreciated . https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.co...
