Re: Calliper winding tool

Post by SeriousSam »

I've got the same kind of wind-back cube as Dave's picture shows, and it's always had the right lugs for the RX-8 on it. The Jag is a different story though, I need to upgrade if I'm going to be able to do those on my own again because the cube is too small to reach the slots on the piston. Needle nose pliers do work, but the proper tool makes the job far easier.
To Do List: HKS CAMP2 install; cruise control; new exhaust; detail paintwork, possible respray

Done: Hayward Rotary rebuild and stage 2 port; Racing Beat ARBs, adjustable front droplinks, ram air intake and lightened flywheel; Exedy stage 1 clutch; Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs; Koyo radiator; heated front screen; EBC redstuff pads all round
