bits in the post
new header tank as mines going yellow
new genuine gm vxr front pads the mintex are starting to squeal at low speed braking
rubberised p clips and more cloth loom tape so i can sort the loom out even further 🙂

Sjdickso

All my Mintex pads have squealed at low speed as well, what are rubberised P clips?

evocarlos

there metal clips shaped like a p with a hole in the end for mounting with the hole in it goes over pipe or cables to secure them the rubber part stops any chaffing between the pipe/loom and the metal clip
