where the pads don't touch the disc it rusts up ,
what can you put on there to stop it?
do you bother?
its just that its quite a big area and its gona look sheeeet

 

i dont know, id like to know this aswell................

 

its cause its cast iron & it rusts like bugger. u could sand it off & paint the area but it will come back through (rear drums are the same)

 

Fit ceramic disks and pads - About £3000 per corner

 

I find grease works a treat

 

There ya go, solution to all your problems

 

nothing you can do really.

ultimatly you can remove the wheels and fit a shield of some type over the the disc to stop rain comming through the spokes of the wheels and sitting on the discs.

 

Dont drive it

 

its not the sort of thing that would bother me tbh. i usually have a long list of bigger more expensive issues to take care of first.

 

Did mine with heatproof spray,still on there now,had 6 months of abuse

 

With the greatest respect why does it matter

 

when youv'e just spent a few thousand quid on brakes and there all blingy and you think there the dogs b0ll0xs etc you want them to stay that way

 

You need to paint the un-used parts of the disk, choice of colour is yours, mine has lasted years, did the hub part of the disk, and the edges.

 

I used etch primer and my mate uses smoothrite

 

yes

nothing

no

drive it more often

 

yeh just drive it lol

 

Had mine zinced

Been through a salty winter, parked outside and they still look good

 

zinc'd?

and that works?

without effecting braking effiecenty?

 

The zinc comes off the braking surface in about the first 10 miles or so.

Stays everywhere else (on the bell and in the vanes etc). Just dont use wonder wheels or similar on them.

I think EBC do the same on there disks.

WD

 

Kev - is that my old front brake setup?

 

Yeah Rich

Powdercoated bells,and smothrite on the calipers

A bit cleaner than when they arrived in the box

Bargain price though
