I am about to do the brakes on my 77B and figured I should ask the knowledge of the list for recommendations on what to do and what to watch out for. I have wire wheels and the brakes have been work

Erik, the one thing that you should make sure that you do is bend the tabs back against the bolts that hold the caliper on.It's the little locking plate I'm refering to. For what ever reason the bolt

front I Erik, can't say if this is absolutely true, but what was considered DOT 3 back in the day, is now considered DOT4 brake fluid. I use the silicone fluid in my car, mainly to avert the potenti

Just to weigh in with my two cents. I'm no expert in braking systems, but Castrol GT LMA fluid has always worked wonderfully in my LBCs over the years. It's DOT 3 and DOT 4 compatible, so you should

Long pedal travel is usually caused by poor adjustment of the rear shoes, so you will have to work here as well as changing the front discs and pads. Make sure the linkage that goes through the back-

Ah, this is a question that occured to me as I disassembled the front suspension on my '74 the other day. Has anyone tried split washers in lieu of the bend-over tabs on these bolts, and if so, how

That is what safety wire is for. Drill the bolts and safety wire them. Do not play around with lock washers. Eastwood sells a drill guide which makes the process painless. They also sell safety wire

Other than the people using Silicone Fluid I know of no MG friends who use DOT 3 - I would definately switch to DOT 4. Rick

Split washers (aka "lock washers), IMHO would be the last way to attempt to lock the caliper bolts in. The ideal would be to safety wire them in place. Along with Lok-Tite. And the locking tabs. (Can

I believe you mentioned in the original post that you had bought new rotors too. You will not need to remove the calipers to change out the pads, but you will need to remove them to put in the new ro
