THE BRAKES IS BROKE! -The Porsche saga part deux

Welp, the seasons are a changin’.. so it looks like one of the world’s slower moving projects has turned a bit.

Okay, on this episode, we have successfully rebuilt the brakes on the 1968 912.

-Hey look, there's Frank in the background! -Boy, he sure looks happy!


This was a bit tough, as they were the original EVERYTHING. So, we had to coat the calipers and let them sit for a bit, as the rear were frozen and I really didn’t want to cut them.


Had to order THREE (!) different sets of front discs to get the right set. It’s a long story… trust the guys at Sierra Madre Collection on the west coast and NO ONE ELSE. -they know their stuff!

Anyway, we replaced all the lines (went for rubber. Something tells me I will be replacing these again come spring with a set of braided stainless.) pads, brake grommets, discs, calipers front and rear and the bleed valve screw.

-A pretty tough job bleeding them btw. You have to do it like three of four times, as air seems to get stuck.

Also replaced the master cylinder and brake relay.

Whew.

Now about that rust…

Stay tuned.

Peace,
