Marketing Manager - Bridge Classic Cars
Classic car technician Rob has been investigating an issue with the brakes of our 1958 AC Ace. The owner of this stunning classic car has reported that the brakes have been feeling a bit sticky and have not been operating as they would expect them to.
To find out what was going on, Rob stripped the brakes down and cleaned them. He also lubricated the brakes before reassembling them. He found that the stickiness was being caused by wear in the front calipers which was allowing the pads to get stuck. Rob filed the calipers to remove the worn areas in order to rectify the issue.
Rob went on to repair and refit the brake caliper pad mounting faces. New pad retainers were also installed.
Once Rob had finished his work on our 1958 AC Ace, workshop manager John took it out for a road test and found everything was now working as it should be.
During the road test, we got to see just how impressive this classic car really is. Not only does it look incredible, but it drives smoothly too. Everyone here certainly has a soft spot for this eye-catching classic car.
