You are correct sir.

Nice custom detailing there, sir!
And I thought I was tricky in painting my spacers to match...

You are correct sir.

It is worth the effort to not have the rust-ring.

Thanks for the tip. Did you demonstrate perhaps in a build thread?

Did you notice a difference in stopping power?

I went with Quiet tech pads, Mutol fluid and premium ss lines. Just went on a long, hard cruise today and had no fade.

One thing though, if you chnage pads, you will have different pedal feel. I thought my brakes weren't bled properly, but that wasn't the case. Two friends have exactly the same set-up and noted the same thing. They both report it gets firmer as the pads work in.

Honestly, it's so easy, it wouldn't be worth the effort for a thread. PM me when you get your stuff and I'll walk you through it if needed.

So the "inside" edge is closest to the black hats, correct? Did you paint the black hats as well?

I've referenced your handi work here:

Holy Gawd that pic is huuuuuge!!

I think I'm going to snap a pic of my plastics now that they've been installed for a few weeks now.

Correct, closest to the hat. You do not need to paint the hat.
