Back to normal temps here and the pu$$ys survived the heat
.. On the news they tell we haven't seen such temps since 1933 but they blame the climate change anyway.
Stock pads are back on the car while waiting for delivery on new racing pads. New break hoses at the rear mounted and fresh DOT4 break fluid filled up. I will replace the front hoses with steel braided hoses as well later. Got used breaks sealants for the rear left break that got BBQed from
@TomasL while waiting for delivery of new parts. It is so nice to have a helping X1/9 friend in the area.
I cannot really tell what happened, but I think i didn't release the parking break properly because the release knob was sunken in to the handle. I had to hammer the handle back 10mm to be able to release the break with the thumb. The break warning light was malfunctioning due to oxidation on the parking break warning light switch so probably my error.
The second break circuit did actually work during the incident, but only if pressing the break pedal almost to the bottom, maybe just 30-20mm from bottom out.
Actually it feels nice with stock break pads in daily driving, the car breaks much better now. But it is a pity the stock pads don't work more than two laps on the race track before overheating.
