Really pissed me off. The front was the whole reason I was doing them, the rotors are well out of spec. ...
At least the rear is done through. ... they're a pain in the ass because of the parking brake circuit

when i did the cylinder head on ingrid, i am pretty sure i spent as much time running back and forth to the local parts shop as i did wrenching. i kept finding stuff that needed replacing while i was in there.

it is quite the car you have, HHI.

The ONLY place I could find the bracket that mounts the rear lift gate struts to the frame was called Maubi and was in England. I ordered a left and a right. One was in an OE Rover baggie the other was aftermarket. Shipping cost twice as much as the brackets for a total of $35.
