The center logo caps arrived today and I just installed them. Got them from Hall Pantera, and even with the retaining clip, it was loose. So I put a few smalls dabs of gasket maker on the back to hold them in place.
Fuzz: Can you post details on what studs you bought and from where? And what lug nuts you purchased. I want to know should I go down this path. thanks
Just found out today that my front left brake caliper is leaking brake fluid. Ordered a repair kit from Panteras by Wilkinson. What a great guy Steve, the owner, turns out to be. Meeting all kinds of helpful fun guys lately.
thanks very much!
When you rebuild frt or rear calipers, know there are two places for leaks, one of which the seal kits will not fix. All Girling calipers built '60s-'70s used mild steel pistons with chrome or nickel plating, and they rust under the plating from old wet brake fluid. This produces a row of pits that, if they're in certain places, produce a leak with brand new seals. Some pits will tear up new seals as well.
Supposedly, someone sells stainless pistons. I made my own out of 312-stainless bar stock. Porsche guys strip the plating off old pistons, braze/weld the pits, remachine and re-plate. NOT cheap! PanteraParts.com in Carson City sells reconditioned front & rear calipers on an exchange basis, and he has a pickup truck full of pitted pistons. Good luck.
Absolutely incredible. Those wheels are the “ shit squared”.
Looks great!
Thank you guys. Panterapatt, I had never heard that term before, but I love it and I am going to have to find reason to use it.
