2lt16v calipers (mine came from a Astra GSI 16v)

Ferodo DS2500 padd's

Sandtler Serie-S brakediscs (no fancy stuff like holes or grooves)

Goodridge teflon steel-braided brakelines

New original GM (opel/vaux) parts
- bleedvalve's
- nutt's and bolts
- caliper revision kit's

Dismantled the calipers completely and got them sanded and powdercoated

then:

Cleaning brake cylinders

Goodridge braided teflon brakelines and alot of new stuff from opel/vaux note the made in britain sticker

Nice trick to get the new rubber in place without trouble

1 caliper finished

After putting together.. new nutt's bolt's brakelines' bleedbolt's etc..

Ingredients:
Sandtler serie-S brakediscs (no more drilled poo)
Goodridge teflon braided brakelines (also for rear)
ferodo ds2500 brakepets
Calibra 2.0 16v brake calipers, sanded, coated, fully revised

They look so nice.. it's a shame they have to go on the car this friday

not painted!

sandsprayed and powdercoated.. so everlasting

and i do think brakes are the most important thing on a car.. so yes.. i do take much time for it..

this should last a couple of years

the's not much about those brakelines that can brake.... the sealrings / bolts get replaced anyway

mine came from our local carshop.. directly ordered from goodridge

better let them be replaced.. my original lines where all rusted to the main brakelines so i didn't risk it and let vaux do it
