What do people use to get the decals to stay? do you use some clear coat that is heat rated?

 

Put the decal on then clear over them.

 

You can get that VHT clear caliper paint - go very light on this (as in multiple light sprays), it runs easily and can go cloudy if the other paint isn't completely dry.


2002 Outback - it's gone...

Sweet I might look at doing it haha, the brakes won't be going on now till I get some braided lines so I can attack it all at once.

So just bought some braided brake lines off ebay, hoping they might turn up next week so I can fit all my brake gear at once during my christmas stand down period

I know right, I liked hardrace on facebook while I was on the site. Saw on Saturday that they are having a sale also.

 

Ordered mine last Thursday 18th.

 

So did I haha, After you guys started talking about them in the thread I went for them as I have a week off over christmas and wanted to get some stuff done.

Anyone know how to take off a brake line that the nut is a bit rounded? I have gone to put my braided lines and brakes in to find one of them forked by someones hulk job before I owned it!

Vice grips will be far better than multi grips. Always use a flare wrench for brake lines.

Nope, I stopped as I didn't want to do something I would regret lol.

 

But I am also having some issues trying to source another hard line to replace it so I don't have an issue tighten it up.

I will have to see if it has enough shape to put a flare wrench on without completely rounding it. It looks pretty bad so I assume I might have to force it off and replace it.

Flare wrenches are 6 pointed, not 12, so you shouldn't have a problem with munting it more than it is already, the issue will be getting it on. Although, I have had instances where whoever did the lines up before me overtightened them to buggery, and the flare wrench stretched open trying to undo them. If that happens, source a new line from a wrecker and use vice grips to undo.


MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Lol its fully munted now, but its on. Will be replacing it at some stage, may even take it somewhere to be flared and fitted off again.
