Oh I got a response lol, because I didn't have any I got the parts diagram and asked as in the diagram its grouped together so wasn't sure what the parts were.Try anti-squeal or anti-rattle shims, may get more responses?
It annoys me when women are belittled due to their sex, I've worked for female engineers without any problems. From the work you've posted on here I suspect you probably have a better skill level/knowledge than half of the Defender group!.
Thank you honestly its so frustrating they see a profile photo and think I'm a moron or start asking rude or inappropriate questions.
Yes I wondered to be honest, my seals were all fine so I left them be, it anoys me that you can buy the rebuild kits everyoje genuine from Landrover and they don't have the calliper mating seals in the box.I'm not sure about Landy callipers Kim, but I know some manufactures say do not split the calliper in half. I don't know why, & I have without problems. It may be because they don't supply a new o ring for the joint. I agree with you about the seal retaining rings, they are a complete pain to get in. When we did my sons 90, we had genuine kits & they were just as bad. I ended up carefully grinding a small lead on the ring to allow it to go in, it seemed the only way. Have a look at the replacement pads, a lot of them have like a sort of underseal coating on, then i don't think you use the anti squeal shims. I bet half the Landies around haven't got them fitted anyway.
I think your doing great, I am looking forward to photos of the finished vehicle. Only wish I had the patience to do the same
Agreed! cant stand people bodging things.Yes, I'll probably be flailed for saying it but unfortunately I have the opinion that a large majority ( NOT ALL ) of the Defender Facebook Group are knuckle draggers.
Many are just interested in off roading, chequer plating, what ever they have to death with little to nil maintenance, or safety regard.
Posts such as 'what can I bodge my Door pillers/posts with to get it through an MOT' and some of the contraptions that appear for sale, if afraid done nothing to change that.
Again I agree, some really smart people then some people that just assume, I guess everyone has ideas of how things should be done but oh well.With your comment about being belittled, don't take any notice of them, when I've looked on the LR forums for info, it appears that half the posters on them have no idea, & post complete rubbish. Not all, there is some good facts & advice on them but the ones that seem to do the shouting.......... They probably could not do what your doing, as Robotstar says.
