Dan's 1976 MGB

Finally got a few spare hours yesterday to replace the front pads in the B... Passenger's side had been grinding a bit when I was test-driving it. Job wasn't too hard, once you get into it. I figure it took me about an hour and a half in total, spread out over 4 hours (of course), as I had to make a Home Depot run in the middle to buy a clamp to compress the pistons. Some pictures follow -

The passenger's side was the one that was grinding a bit, the pads show that there was basically no friction material left on them....
