Hi Folks I was just talking to a friend with a GT6 about brakes, and uprating brakes. He mentioned that the callipers are the same as TR6 including the use of Metric versions with the special shoulde

Hi Kyle. Thanks for the follow up info. All I need now is confirmation from someone with both a TR6 and a GT6 that the callipers are the same, then my friend can start looking into fitting them to hi

Graham, my GT6 Mk3 SPC lists the calipers as P/N 311851/311852, which are the same 16PB calipers that the TRF catalog lists for some middle TR6. My GT6 Mk1/2 SPC lists P/N 307843/307844, which cross

If you can't feel a definite notch as you turn the adjuster, then there is something wrong internally. My guess would be that the adjuster pistons are stuck in their bores, but it might also be that

If the DPO replaced or rebuilt the rear brakes the adjusting screw should turn somewhat easily to a degree. On the other end of the adjusting screw is a cone shaped cam with 4 flats on it that does

Hi Paul I'm not an expert , but I would suggest Castrol LMA . I think it's DOT 4 . If you are really worried about the compatibility with your existing fluif , why not drain and replace it entirely w

The issue, if it exists, is not DOT 3 vs DOT 4, but rather British brake fluid vs everything else. Girling used to use natural rubber in their brake components, and the DOT standards simply do not a

Someone mentioned that low pedal on first application after long highway use is normal. I just noticed recently that I get a very low pedal in my TR-6 when I first fire it up. The pedal comes up and

My first thought on a initially soft pedal is that you might need to adjust your rear brakes. If it works, it is a quick easy fix. Brian Kemp 72 TR6

The pads should rest against the rotor with virtually no pressure. Your problem description sounds as if the piston is stuck in the caliper and not withdrawing properly. THis would mean a rebuild of

If you have a machine handy, it's probably a pretty good idea. However, since most of us don't, the best alternative is to install them and spin the wheel to see if there is any noticable variance (

That may be a "risk management" thing. Brand-new (v. smooth) rotors will sometimes squeak. Turned rotors do not. So to avoid call-backs where the proud new owner is complaining about squeaky discs, m
