      Thanks guys.  Since I had already d0ne the 220 grit hone, I went through it with 400 grit sandpaper.  Felt really smooth and the pistons travel freely now vs hanging up before on the 220 honed surface.  And the brakes lock up when you want them to…

      I use WD40 first on everything, brush as needed, then for bodywork dampen a blue towel or microfiber towel with denatured alcohol to get to grease free and clean.  If you need to fasten new stickers at this point you are good to go.

      John,

       

      Acceleration karting has a decent selection of brake parts.  TS Racing in Florida as well.

      Good luck. See you at CRP or Mid Ohio?  or NCMP?

      Super Masters sounds great.  Bring it out of the garage infers SKUSA would like to grow participation from past racers, but with everything being ‘spec’ is a new ‘spec’ pipe and ’99 stock cylinder required?  If not, I’m in for New Castle when y’all come east.

      @ Kevin Kann,

      Are you sure that the people who left WKA to start AKRA were actually in a position to ‘run it into the ground’, or were they as frustrated as you or I am and not able to let good ides come to surface because the WKA President and his minions insisted that things be a ‘certain way’?

      Until; AKRA proves otherwise, I will take them at their word that they will be closer to the needs of the racer, and not WKA’s insurance partner.
