Hi,
Just getting started on fixing up my recently aquired 1975-914 and the way it swooshed and swayed I suspected that front shock replacement was in order. In the process of taking the parts apart to get to the shocks I have found the brakes in bad shape ( not only from rust but my Easy-Out which broke off in the bleader valve ---oups damn ). The brake lines are bad also so now I am comited to most all the break parts. My question for the group is, has anyone bought the BMW upgrade from "TheAndante" ? And if so, is it really as simple and trouble free as he states in his post ? I presently have Reveria wheels but I do not like the fact that I can not get bigger tires on them and I will eventually replace them with something else, the question then becomes, will the BMW brakes interfear with the wheel clerance ? One final question is do I need to upgrade tothe 19 mm master cylinder ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
