Some more photos

I’m giving an update on this topic. Doing a rebuild on my PBR calipers before Carlisle and thought I would get a few photos and add to this post. I bought the pistons listed in this topic centric 146.45013 and they appear to fit great in the pbr calipers. I also bought the seal kit for the same cali...

Hey Paul. I’m interested in the coolant lines. Let me know if you want PayPal or I can give you cash at the show.

The other hydrocarbon refrigerants are still around under different names. The red tek appears to use isobutane / r600 or propane / r290 from the SDS sheet vs the fake freeze12 which uses Tetrafluoroethane really r134 or the envirofreeze which only states liquified petroleum and has no trade name de...

Watch out, here come the flammable refrigerant police.... I have not used it but curious to hear your opinion once your finished. I was looking at some alternatives but hadn’t made a choice yet. Bought the Mercedes expansion valve that some others have used and planned on getting universal type cond...

I see from a bit of research that some people are tweaking the boot parameters and getting around 10 seconds reasonably. Seems like the stock boot sequence waits for the network adapter to be ready before proceeding. Removing that wait should give you a decent reduction in time. Looks like android f...

Looks very nice so far. You could consider a matte screen protector. That helps in the bright sun. Not sure in your case if it would make much difference with the bezel shading the display. I’m running a nexus 7 in the center console as a display for the MS and the matte screen protector does help t...

Make sure you check for leaky tail light gaskets and hatch weatherstrip if you havent already. These cars are getting old now and that rubber and foam doesn’t last forever.

That dust cover should come off with the rubber boot. So yes it can come off. The cv’s are the same as the type 2 VW bus. So if you look up that application you’ll have more hits then searching for merkur cv’s. You can also use rock auto on the desktop version to see the other vehicles that use the ...

Looking at the Cadillac STS application calipers.. the banjo and bleeder fittings are the same size as the mustang and those calipers at least look damn close. The banjo fitting is just at the bottom corner vs the back on the mustang calipers. I’m tempted to go to the parts store and do a little com...

Nice find. Here are the cross reference applications for that PN Centric 14645013 According to the caliper specs the Piston Size is (OD) (mm) 44.96 CADILLAC CTS 2008-2014 CADILLAC SRX 2010-2016 CADILLAC STS 2009-2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO 2010-2015 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA SPORT 2008-2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2007...

I’m in Ct and if you have any master cylinders I can drop by and pick up the parts

Since carlisle ford weekend got rescheduled to our family vacation week I thought I would make a pit stop. Traveling for work and happened to be driving by...
See I made it in 2020, but seriously I hope everyone has a great time! Cheers

If you need locks I have a couple sets as well as the air box lid. I don’t think I have extra keys though. You can contact the vendors already mentioned for the key.
If you need the other items contact me via email jkxr4ti at yahoo

Good to have this as an option especially since you can get the VW struts in coil over options already. At the moment I’m trying to decide on this route or converted bilsteins for the new XR.
