Dundee in Scotland.

Could you post a picture of the exploded view?

It's the craziest design ever.

Re: Rewinding rear calipers

It's the Allan key adjuster at the back, sorry for not being more clear. If I apply moderate pressure to the piston face It then engages - and I can wind the piston to extend. It doesn't retract though. Engaging the handbrake lever doesn't move the piston either. I bought them 'brand new' off eBay f...

Re: Rewinding rear calipers

It's bonkers that it's both of them. I've taken the Allan screw out the back and its brand new - and the teeth inside look good too. Really bizzare. The old (I'm guess O.E) still operates fine! I've tried the Allan screws in that one and it works too. Struggling to think what else to try.

Rewinding rear calipers

Brand new rear calipers, neither retracts nor extends, means I'm probably doing something wrong. No brake fluid as I thought it's mechanical, tried bleeder open, closed, everything. The Allan screw in the back just turns with no success.

Re: Rebuilding the rear

That's definitely a good start! If I could get another photo further up the car it would be perfect.

Rebuilding the rear

Hey all, I'm rebuilding the rear and would be most grateful if someone could provide photos of the order of things. More specifically, do the handbrake cables go over/under the fuel lines, how does the drivers side hard brake line look (I've replaced it). Basically photos underneath/with the wheel a...

Fuel Filler Neck different size?

Hey all, I've replaced the Fuel Filler Neck with what I thought was an original GE, but it seems its about 7cm shorter than the previous one. Does anyone know if the Mazda/Ford filler necks were different sizes? I've replaced all the other hoses no problems, but the fuel hose between the filler neck...

Re: Brake Pipe Clips

Hi Sunfly sorry for the late response, It's the clips underneath the car holding the brake pipes/fuel pipes on. I would use generic other 9nes but I couldn't seem to find any. My friend made a 3d model of the clip, and has offered to print it at uni, but itll take bloody ages now were in lockdown 3.0.

Re: Brake Pipe Clips
