Dave's Classic Revival CR3514
Howdy folks,
Havent posted awhile, I'm on a 8/6 roster at the moment giving me little time at home, but i have been making some progress.
Heres some rear brake pics and i also mounted up the front sway bar which required some fiddling around as the parts fit differently to whats depicted in the manual.
This required me to alter the front spring lengths as once the shocks were re positioned, the adjuster rings hit the lower arm.
regards
Dave

Great work Dave.
Your eye for detail is very impressive.
It irks me though that you are using the same calipers as I have on the front on your rear!

Ptrefry,
The rear calipers are CP5147's, not the 5200.
The selection was chosen in discusions with Racebrakes in Melbourne based on weight & distribution to be parred with CP5200 4 pots on the front, however, in discussions with AP Racing in the UK, they suggested the CP5570 6 pots would be a better match and feel, so thats the way i have gone.
There is no booster, so feel and effort was a concern for me.
Dave

Hi Dave, wow, great work. Where did you get and how did you tighten the stainless clamps around the rubber boots of the half shafts?
Can't wait for more posts!
Regards.

Hi Mando, how are you,
Below is a link to the exact same item, i bought an auction listing, but this is a buy it now listing,
Also used it on my steering rack boots, the bands are pretty good quality.
CV JOINT BOOT BANDING CUTTING TOOL& 10SETS CLAMPS | eBay
I'll be fitting up the fronts this weekend when i get home, more posting soon.
Merv, I chose the shocks based on your previous posts, the finish quality seems pretty good, are you happy with the ride ?
Dave

Thanks for the information Dave. In their description of the kit I think they refer to the bands as "steel". Are your bands stainless steel?
Regards.

Mando, I have fitted many of these bands and have only ever seen them produced in Stainless.

Yes Dave. Happy with the ride/handling balance with the QA1s. Took some fiddling to get the right rebound/compression settings. If too high and you can get a high frequency squeak. I have some correspondence on that if you want it, but no drama. Also worked well with the corner weighting.

Thanks Merv, good info,
Mando, I had a look at them tonight when i got home, i'm pretty sure they are stainless, i cant find anything written on anything, but they definately have that look and finish of polished stainless.
Very easy to use tool, bands look heaps better than zip ties.
Dave

Very neat Dave. I found that they were easy to fit but one had to work at bleeding them properly. Performance-wise the AP setup is terrific.

Hi Dave, the banding tool arrived the other day but I can't work out how to use the tool properly. What does the lever at the front of the tool do? I've already destroyed 2 of the smaller bands practicing!
Regards.

Hey Mando, G'day,
I'll take some pics in the morning, the instructions are crap with the kit but pretty simple,
Undo the strap all the way, then wrap around the boot and thread the strap end through the eyelet on the strap head,
then slide the end of the strap through the end of the tool through the first winder (cutter) then through the second winder.
wind up the second winder until its tightened the strap, just snug, not to tight.
rotate the whole tool back to front bending the strap back over the top of itself.
rotate the first winder which cuts the strap to length.
Remove the tool.
Bend over the holding taps over the top of the strap to hold in place.
I'll send a few pics to make it clear.
Dave

Thank's Dave! By the way, what are you hiding under that blue tarp?

Sounds just like a 'band-it' tool.
We use the 1/2" strap for all sorts of fixings.
