Please inspect your front hubs!
While changing out the rotors and pads on Sandy's original /6, we found the passenger side front aluminium hub badly corroded. Best guess would be from dissimilar metal contact. He will be in the market for one good hub , if you have one for sale please PM me. Drivers side is in perfect condition.   |

QUOTE(injunmort @ Jul 9 2018, 12:26 PM)  great example of why you paint alloy. Well...the origionals weren’t painted and the ones I vaporblast aren’t either. But if you are going to paint, it has to be some sort of epoxy or powdercoat that won’t react to brake fluid. I don’t know why one hub went bad and the other is fine but I don’t think most of our cars will get used like they used to. |
