Skyway Pro Brake Fin for under £2 from Wilko's
« on: December 28, 2013, 04:55 PM »
Ok so Skyway pro brake fins can be bloody expensive & it can be difficult tracking them down.
 
This might have been posted before but I think i've come up with a solution (cosmetic at least) to save you from having to spend a fortune not to mention the time to hunt these little buggers down.  be it for use on the Brake pad itself (or) for use as a ((((spacer/washer)))) to be used on a flat rear brake bridge which seems to be a common use for these things.

Cosmetically they look great & I honestly i can't see why this wouldn't work .

All you need are these from Wilko's,  I think they were 89p a pack. The M6 30mm come in packs of 4 & the smaller washer come in 18's so for a full set of 4 brake pads you'll need one pack of these &  3 of the 30mm.



& layer them up


& there you have it  (Et Voila) :daumenhoch:

I used that vht paint. Spot on colour when I sprayed it on, but, after following instructions I baked the sprayed item to toughen the finish it came out a burnt orange colour. F*ck knows what went wrong. Probably not a 100% clean oven. :-[
