Front N/S brake grinding

[Anton]

So glad you're back on the road and all safely sorted out! Now, pics please!

your all flipping fab,

Brakes International, highly recommended.

Yup. I would definately put them in the top 10 parts suppliers for Suzi's. Maybe even the top 5.

1) Richard Wattam
2) Llama 4x4
3) Jimnybits
4) Muddyzuk
5) Brakes International.

Just my opinion, though. Others think more highly of bits 4 vits than jimnybits/muddyzuk, but I've never bought anything from them!

what would you like pics of ?

Your Vitara!

She's a bit scruffy at the minute... Ive finally got the time to do some bits on it, so doing the essentials (brakes) first. I want to repaint the wheel as the gorilla thats mashed and snapped all the brake bolts has obviously painted them and they're rough, but how about I post some pics and then we can track her progress. Ive got a plastic bull bar on the front too thats cracked and flaking which needs repairing and spraying...

Sounds cool! Build thread!

Argh.. so I asked for the bolts that bolt the carrier specifically saying it's not the slider bolts... its the actual bolts that bolt the caliper carrier to the car and what have suzuki sent....... 2 slider bolts. Who do you suggest to get replacement caliper carrier bolts (the 17 mm hex heads that attach the carrier to the car)

I'd go to a local bolt stockist with a sample, and get a grade 8.8 minimum bolt from them. The only downside is they are metric fine, so might not be in stock, and they will cost a little more than metric coarse.

A company we deal with at work is called Bapp http://www.bapp.co.uk/ A big outfit, but northern based. Give them a call, I'm sure they can sort something.

Haha... that is exactly what I'm gonna say to them....

Thankyou. I downloaded the service manual ages ago and was hoping to be able to pull a pic up to show them but typically it's on an old broken computer...
