rear brakes

The rear brakes were in need of a refurb as well, first step was to clean the hubs:
 (the dust shields were cleaned and painted as well)

New Zimmermann z-coat disc and refurbed caliper installed, new Pagid pads as well:

 New wear contact and all new hardware:

after installation I checked the brake line in more detail which was really rusted:
So, next step was to fabricate new "KuNiFer" brake lines. The Porsche has an interesting feature, there are 2 protective rubber sleeves on the brake line, so I copied those as well:

(later I added some heat shrink tube to the rubber sleeves)

All steps had to be repeated on the left side as well. The screws for the caliper have to be torqued to 85 Nm:

Ooops, I just realized that the spring to hold the contact wire down is installed in the wrong direction!
