    Bowlerwells RS2 brake refurb

    Just had Johns RS2 down from Edinburgh for some long needed tlc on his brakes!
    First is a pic of how I found the rears, note pad retaining clip unfastened! (V dangerous!)

      Stripped all off and started the caliper refurb.
      Note the angle of the pad plates!

                PLease feel free to ask John about my standard of work and service,
                Just thought I'd show what can be done without fitting new.

                        My thoughts exactly!

                          What a state to get in. Nice work Rob.

                          You should've seen my 996 calipers before I refurbished them. I asked Bry for the cheapest mankiest pair he had, but I soon brought them back to life.

                              Oh my good lord glad you made it down to Robs in one piece John did they actually operate at all ? Trully shocking and a wee bit scary on an RS2 at least the journey back up was a lot safer thanks to Robs hard graft How much did the job cost out of interest Rob
