Great video pal. Just a heads up, the little notches in the rear pistons line up with the notch on the back of the pads so that might be why the handbrake Lever was quite hard too pull to get the cable on 👍
Thanks mate and the pads I fitted had no notches they were completely flat I know sometimes they’re a nice fit or tight it is what it is got it back together that’s the main thing
Tidy job🤙 What are your plans for treating rust and of rustproofing on the underside. Just about to start on mine and on the fence about going with lanoguard
I’m going to get this Done by someone who’s very good at these won’t be till January next year but hopefully you stick around till then to see it’ll be worth it
Just started mine, I’m using raptor xt white then I may lanoguard over the top. We’ll see how it goes. I was gonna use por15 but after sitting on the fence and watching many vids I’ve decided against it.
Good work fella. Im in the middle of doing the same. Mine is away at the blast shop. Then going for powder coating. But the mounting brackets are shot. Do you know if anyone is making after market/ upgraded ones, as they are a pain to get hold of in good condition. Im sure someone can fab them up. Cheers.
Thanks mate much appreciated, Not sure on the brackets maybe message Paul Bygrave, on Facebook he’s a massive breaker of these cars he may be able to supply you some at a decent cost I use him for slot of my parts
Thanks for the reply. Not been on here for a while. My rear beam is back from blast shop. Holes everywhere. So in 2 mind’s whether to get it welded or buy another one.
@@leehavard4109 you can’t weld a rear beam legally for repair as it could weaken and still fracture etc only time you can do it is if you’re bracing it, so unfortunately it’ll be a case of getting another and try it again, best thing to do is take a tapping hammer and go round the axle with it to ensure it’s solid
@@leonsrcs5283 I’ve had these for years mate have lots of spares as other stuff I own share the same parts best bet is to find an st170 being broken for parts and buy a set
Top Job, keep doing the resto underneath 👏
Thanks mate much appreciated 🙂👌🏻
Fantastic videos mate, thanks very much! Good to know we can keep our ST150's going 👍
@@blairmccormick4351 thanks mate glad you found it useful 🙂
I wrote off my ST when the rear axle sheared off the car and sebt me off the road. Worries me how many others could be at risknof failure
Very worrying mate I’m sorry yours didn’t make it 😞
Where did you get the Rear Axle Bearings?
I bought them as development prototypes from Alex Boam but You can now get them from parkin racing developments
Proper job!
Thanks mate

@@klse60 raptors a good product what are you gonna use underneath it and are you taking it back to bare metal?
@@6uiltdifferentI was gonna take it back to bare metal then just use the raptor. Pretty sure you don’t need anything else.
@@klse60 I would defo be epoxy and etch primering before hand
