Hello. (again)

With luck you will have the early front disc brakes and hubs.... square brake pad type..

Bits are cheaper.. :!:

Bearings drift out of hubs.. no need for a press.. :)

and the piston overhaul seal set is only 44 €.. :shock:

Did mine this Spring before Le Mans.....

What a difference... 8)

Controlled stopping is nice.. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Cordialement,

:ok
