ok, no joy at us auto (suprise) or JWR.

US auto sugested trist draper hydraulics just down the road, so i'll head off there in a moment.

Thanks Phil, you wouldn't have thought they would be so difficult to find.
I thought the things had to be replaced when ever you removed the calipers or somefink?

philoldsmobile · January 03, 2006, 02:34:41 PM

they have to be changed every time you undo the connection.. they are standard hydraulic copper washers though..

silverstone mate, no problem either silverstone moror factors or trident

philoldsmobile · January 03, 2006, 05:18:30 PM

55starchief · January 03, 2006, 05:20:01 PM

Roadkill · January 03, 2006, 05:20:22 PM

WTF ?

Can't believe they're so hard to come by.

Mental note, when I go to the states buy Thousands of 'em and create a monopoly here in the UK.

Muwahahahahahaaaa !

What is it you guys are looking for? (not that I can help, just curious...

)

Roadkill · January 03, 2006, 05:25:52 PM

A Flat Copper washer.

Jamieg285 · January 03, 2006, 05:27:33 PM

I would have thought a basic motor factors would stock them.

Maybe there's a world shortage. Maybe I should see if I've got any in the garage and put them on ebay.

FUBAR · January 03, 2006, 05:28:54 PM

tried B&Q?...

You'd think.

Seriously, I tried several places myself.

We picked up some alternatives but I wasn't convinced they'd be suitable . . .

Thats what the gimp at Halfrauds said.....nearly hit him at the time but he might have been right

the tint is on the lights, went on nice and even, even before polishing there is a good shine on them..

held the lense against my indicator, good light transmition, will leave then a couple of days to harden, then will do the mat black detail.

will be done friday.

they look a lot nicer for removing the amber crap used to colour the lens..
