Hey everyone

Drove the mini today to work and I'm getting a vibration feel on the brake pedal when I brake so something wrong with my brake system, theres no noises.

Checked the pads and there's still heaps of meat left.

Only noticed it happening when braking/depressing the brake.

It feels like when you have a worn out tie rod end.

Please advice?

Is it safe to drive 30 klms (return) tomorrow for the Mini Muster?

I think so, so ill measure these and he will know what they are like.
If I recall, they were fine (GR said, use em) but I bought new rotors, CVs and flanges so these are spare - and taking space in the garage.

If he only needs one, he can have a spare :D

Pete.

Ok, going in the cold, cold, garage now, be back shortly with pics and measurements.

Man that pasta was good.
Dude, I went to Coles near our house and they had NO (ZERO, NONE, ZIP, NADA) garlic bread!! They had every other bread there but no garlic.. so we made :D it was worth it.

Be back soon... im also 'keeping an eye on the kid' while the mrs does something, so its a risky mission... soon as I go, he'll destroy the living room (which is now his play area)

Wish me luck.

Pete.

Ok,

Here are the pics.

This one has been machined before.
Image

mmm, nice numbers. (Was just playing with the camera)
Image

Now for the measurements... with the trusy ruler and I measured twice... as best I could.

8.5 mm for the one thats already been machined (assume 8 to be sure)
9 mm for the other one (assume 8.5 to be sure)

Whats that in inches?

Cheers,
Pete.
