Car back on the road
After the fun at Winton and my post of zero brakes last corner here is the damage report.
Popped a seal on the caliper piston which sent it THROUGH the pad (Potterfield R4) Because of the heat the pad had actually disinegrated as when we removed the front right caliper the pad compound litterally fell away from the backing plate.
Parts list
2 New Rotors
2 New calipers ( can't buy rebuild kits here in Australia)
Pads
That's the cost of going fast.
Unfortunatly my wife was there when I had to pick the car up and pay the bill, that's going to cost me hehehe.
