[Nobbc] July 10 Ride

[Richard Anderson]

Hi Bill,

I had Wilwood's put on the fronts of my '67 XKE and have been very satisfied with the braking.  I do have some squeaking and when you have to replace pads they highly recommend doing rotors too.  It gets a little pricey.  The kit to modify the XKE worked fine.

Sorry I won't be able to make this one. The Jag will be down for awhile getting a serious brake system upgrade. The?downhill stretch of our last?tour was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for me, so it's new rotors and four-pot calipers all around. Am shopping UK sources Zeus, Cooper Craft, Guy Broad, and SNG Barrett for upgrade kits. Anyone on the list have any experience?in this regard???The MG has a leaky wheel cylinder and an exhaust leak at the junction of the exhaust manifold and downpipe. Stripped threads on one of the studs, I?suspect. Also needs the brakes (drums - fancy that) adjusted.??Immobility is the price of deferred maintenance...

Another suggested alternate meeting place: There's a large?shopping?center on the north side of Airport Boulevard just over the freeway, at the?entrace to the Airport Business Park. It'll be on your right (first signal?)?as you go west on Airport. If you've ever been to the Airport Cinemas you know where I mean. There's at least one fast-food place there, and a very good full-service restaurant tucked back in the southeast corner of the property that's open early for breakfast and has a complete bakery counter and coffee service, plus real restrooms. There's plenty of?parking, much of it shaded, and?several?areas that offer trees or other good backgrounds for photos.
??
Q: Why?would anyone own an old British sports car? A: Because the car needs you.

Have a?fun?tour.
