Should there be a rubber pad on the metal disk, or is supposed to be bare?

Looking back at pictures of my orange car, there wasn't any rubber pad on there either. There's not one shown in the parts manual. But I like the idea of putting one on there!

Got it. So metal to metal it is. Thanks!

No

No

78 280 had rubber from the factory

Stop should be clear while lock nut yellow

Guess I got into the game late…🤦‍♂️

Oh sorry, I finished it up, drove it a few miles, had a very small oil leak I fixed, timing cover bolt(s). The front brakes or hubs were getting hot, resolved that issue quickly. I've probably put 600 miles on the car since. It rides unbelievably smooth and quiet. There's nothing left to work on. I'm at a loss now, it's kind of a strange feeling. What a battle it was though, I really enjoyed the challenge for the most part, and I miss it.

You did a great job, with both the car and the build thread. Thanks for the update. We now have closure! 😄
