3. Now that you have determined which approach is best for you based on skill, budget and time, there are a few things to prep the spring plates.
Again a few options:
- remove them and wire brush them clean and replace. (Personnally if you made it this far, why not spend the extra time)
- Dissassemble and sand blast them and paint
- Or my personnal favorite, is dissassembley, sand blast and plate- For this project I utlized a Yellow Zinc plating. Not sure if there are variations but I think the OEM style that is shiny is better as this yellow is not to scratch resistant. So you want to know what the spring plate looks like when fully dissassembled
Here they are trial mounted on my polished 944 arms which I caught some hell for.. incidently I just finished cleaning and started polishing the other arm in preperation for brake assembly :P
